Baxter & Matt Neuberg for suggesting "col -b" to clean up manual pages for piping. I just wrote a bash function to save some tying and make things a bit cleaner. I use the following in my profile (it should normally go in ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc): function manb () { man $* | col -b | bbedit --clean --view-top --pipe-title $*; } So now I can "manb ssh" or "manb scp sftp" and get a nice BBEdit window with the clean content. I decided it wasn't worth breaking multiple commands into separate windows, but that could be added easily enough with a loop, if desired.
