Sure I do. First of all update manpages are not some html wiki version but real mdoc formated pages. I told you that at least once. Generating html pages from manpages is no problem, the other way around is non trivial. Having the man pages online is in so far good as it can be done for free just use "groff -Thtml" and updates can be automated. Btw. these man pages would not be part of the wiki. > What you didn't grasp so far is I'm not doing a website, I'm doing the > manpages.

Your man pages are html formatted and in a wiki, IMO that is not a manpage but a homepage simulating a man page. -- :wq Claudio
