This is mostly due to Hysterical Raisins; roff was useful back in the day and they've continued the tradition. I know that LyX can export to something like a man page format, and Jade includes docbook2man. It's possible to write man pages by hand as well, though this is tedious. --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
