The current ddoc-based scheme may not be flexible enough to generate man pages (though I could be wrong). But something like Adam Ruppe's adrdox could possibly be the basis for translating individual module symbols into manpages perhaps? Though I have to warn, working with troff/groff syntax is probably not going to be pretty, esp. given the laxness / HTML-specificity of your typical Phobos doc comment. But perhaps it could be made to work... Question is, who's gonna do the grunt work? T -- Computers shouldn't beep through the keyhole.
