Comparing manpages with HTML rich (or even PDFs) docs.


      * Manpages cannot have images (maybe with Terminology this is no
        longer true) and for a GUI toolkit this is kind of a must.
      * Manpages don't have an easily browsable content (like HTML) have
        
              * Summary
              * Detailed description and extra sections
              * Extra pages (not directly related to one class only)
              * A small text for each function
