@ -55,18 +55,21 @@ A setting of 4 should look readable. Here's an overview again:
- groff: Groff is the "official" tool to convert man pages.
To get good results you need a recent version (1.18.2).
groff -man -Thtml mplayer.1 > manpage.html
groff -rLL=64n -m man -Tascii mplayer.1 | col -bx > manpage.txt
groff -m man -T html mplayer.1 > man_page.html
groff -m man -T ascii -rLL=78n mplayer.1 | col -bx > man_page.txt
The groff man page lists other output formats to use with -T.
- man2html: You can view it through a CGI script:
http://localhost/cgi-bin/man2html?mplayer
The output is unusable as the script doesn't seem to support
the macro definitions. Maybe manually changing all leads to
acceptable results.
- rman: rman -f html mplayer.1 > manpage.rman.html
- rman: rman -f html mplayer.1 > man_page.rman.html
The output is ugly as rman doesn't understand many of the
macros used.
- troffcvt: troff2html -man mplayer.1 > manpage.tcvt.html
- troffcvt: troff2html -man mplayer.1 > man_page.tcvt.html
The (good) output is similar to groff but simplified...
