Hi I've written some simple manual pages in vi(1) before, but those cannot compare with the kind of complex layouts and formatting options that Sun-generated man pages have; I'd like to be able to produce such quality-formatted documentation too, but haven't found much on the internet on the subject of writing manual pages (not the content, the formatting). Which tools do you use to generate manual pages?
Is there an OpenOffice / StarOffice macro capable of converting ODF documents to nroff/troff format for manual pages? I have written quite a bit of documentation in ODF, and it'd be really slick, if I could produce man(1) command formatted documents. Is there any tutorial documentation on writing manual pages with nroff(1) or troff(1), where those tools are well explained, or even better, where advanced creation techniques for crating manual pages are discussed in depth? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
