Neato: templates!  The wiki == nroff  :-)


Excuse my ignorance, but: where is nroff?



I was exagerating, sorry. Templates... with args... macros... nroff...


Still, where man.macros (oh, my, God) has:

    .OP cmdName dbName dbClass

The wiki would have Template:OP, called as:

    {{OP:cmdName=X|dbName=Y|dbClass=Z}}

Which could expand to whatever you like, including HTML comments to
aid converting back to nroff etc...


Does this mean that converting from wiki format to nroff
would be relatively trivial? IOW, I can invent just about
any Tempate:OP were OP is whatever nroff will support, like
.CE, .CS, .PP, .SH ?

I do not know wiki enough to be able to make any decision,
but if there is a way of writing it all in wiki and getting
it converted to decent nroff (and html) without much fuss,
then I'm all for it.

OTOH, have you ever looked at doctools?
