man-to-html

Opinionated man page (roff) to html converter.

Usage

Here's how my man page is created:

./man-to-html edward-shen.man index.html

This script will automatically fetch in metadata information from the man page. Specifically, it'll parse the first line:

.TH cmd-name page date version title

This might not work and will likely break if the man page's first line isn't in that exact format.

Prereqs

Install pandoc.
