That's certainly fair, but wouldn't it need to be used only once, after which the documentation could be maintained in markdown format? I suppose that would require a tool to go from markdown to man, but at least it's a thought. >I have no objection to Markdown but I'm not sure what it would gain us >exactly, other than maybe someone younger than 35 could edit the >documentation. That may be the point -- or not, I suppose, depending on one's point of view. (I'm far past the point of being under 35 myself, for what that's worth.) - Steven -- ___________________________________________________________________________ Steven Winikoff | Montreal, QC, Canada | "The cure for boredom is curiousity. s...@smwonline.ca | There is no cure for curiousity." http://smwonline.ca | | - Dorothy Parker
