Sure I do. First of all update manpages are not some html wiki version
but
real mdoc formated pages. I told you that at least once.
Generating html pages from manpages is no problem, the other way around
is
non trivial.
Having the man pages online is in so far good as it can be done for free
just use "groff -Thtml" and updates can be automated. Btw. these man
pages
would not be part of the wiki.
Hmm. Your man pages are html formatted and in a wiki, IMO that is not a
manpage but a homepage simulating a man page.
Claudio, tell me which of the following processes is the easiest:
Option1: The process of converting existing manpages from wiki to mdoc.
Option2: The process of creating the manpages for Qmail-ldap.
If you answered "Option2" - you're wrong. Option1 is the easiest. After the
manpages exist in whatever format, it's relatively easy to convert them to
other format. But writing manpages that don't exist, this is really
difficult. I don't believe just one guy in this world would have
**knowledge and time** available to do all the qmail-ldap manpages alone,
in mdoc format, to gently send all them to you to incorporate in qmail-ldap
package. Some guys can have the knowledge, but don't have the time. While
the opposite is also true.
The wiki site is where people can help each other during the most difficult
process: to create the manpages. It doesn't matter if will be boring to
convert them to mdoc later.
