Is any man2html alternative available in a package? Using "groff -man -Thtml" may be one, but this does not generate HTML links.

See here: http://autogen.sourceforge.net/index.html and here: http://autogen.sourceforge.net/man2html.html. I see that AutoGen is available from Cygwin Ports (ftp://sourceware.org/pub/cygwinports/portslist.txt), but I don't know if man2html is included in the package. If there's interest, I could look into moving this project out of Cygwin Ports and into Cygwin itself. -- Chris J.

It is not because the upstream sources do not include such a component. In Fedora, man2html is provided as a separate package based on the man-1.6g sources: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/man2html.git/tree/man2html.spec Yaakov -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
