I am here to destroy my little cred as a long-time unix-lover with a single statement: I really don't like man pages.
------ rant, please ignore ----- They are sometimes nice as a reference, terrible as tutorials, and very bad for searching for specific pieces of information when you don't know the exact term to search with, scaling very poorly when they grow large (take a look at the man page for bash if you don't believe me). Some tools come with docs in the truly lovely and usable info format (thanks tons KDE et al for actually making it possible to read info without wondering how to close the viewer), but these not very common. ---------------------------------- What I am looking for is something that can convert a given man page to HTML or some other similar format, with such new-fangled features like a useful table of contents, perhaps even an index. Is there some tool to do this? -Taj. _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - February 22-24, 2008 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
