Man page to HTML converter
mantohtml - Man Page to HTML Converter
mantohtml is an all-new implementation of a man page to HTML conversion program.
It supports all of the common man/roff macros and can combine multiple man pages
in a single HTML output file.
Requirements
mantohtml requires a C99 compiler such as GCC or Clang and a POSIX-compliant
"make" utility like GNU make.
Building and Installing
Run make to build the software.
Run sudo make install to install the software to "/usr/local". To install
to a different location, set the "prefix" variable, e.g.:
sudo make install prefix=/some/other/directory
Documentation and Examples
Documentation can be found in the "mantohtml.1" file. Normally you just run the
program with the name of a man file and the HTML output is sent to the standard
output:
mantohtml mantohtml.1 >mantohtml.html
The --help option lists the available options:
mantohtml --help
