mdocml is a suite of tools compiling mdoc, the roff macro package of choice for
|
|
BSD manual pages, and man, the predominant historical package for UNIX manuals.
|
|
It is small, ISO C, ISC-licensed, and quite fast.
|
|
|
|
The tool set features mandoc, based on the libmandoc validating compiler, to
|
|
format output for UNIX terminals (with support for wide-character locales),
|
|
XHTML, HTML, PostScript, and PDF. It also includes preconv, for recoding
|
|
multibyte manuals; demandoc, for emitting only text parts of manuals; mandocdb,
|
|
for indexing manuals; and apropos, whatis, and man.cgi (via catman) for
|
|
semantic search of manual content.
|
|
|
|
There is an environment variable called REPLACE_MAN, that if set to a non-empty
|
|
string, will instruct the slackbuild script to replace the stock man package
|
|
(you should remove(pkg) it first, though).
|
|
|
|
After installing, make sure to (re)create the mandoc specific "whatis"
|
|
database(s) in your manpath(s), eg.:
|
|
# mandocdb /usr/man /usr/local/man
|
|
... or, if you've chosen to replace man, then:
|
|
# makewhatis /usr/man /usr/local/man
|
