As for the man pages, if you could point me to a simple synopsis of
what those dot commands mean, I could probably do it fairly easily.

Let's not reinvent the wheel, now that I look a bit closer.
See man groff, -T option in particular.
I tried it. using utf8 and html for output, it seems to strip the
underlines and bold text. I can probably write a quick parser for our
purposes in less time than it would take me to figure out how to mess
with the roff processors.
It looks like this set of pages uses:
.B (bold)
.I (italics, but treated in man as an underline)
.U (underline)
.TH (table? heading)
.SH (Section heading)
.BR (bold)
.IR (italics, as above)
.EX (indent 1)
.EE (outdent 1)
I don't see any of that being a hassle.
Let me know if you want these as separate pages, or whatever and I'll
write you a quick script to handle them.

I think that each one on a separate page would be good.
Any problem doing this for all man pages in all the toaster packages?
Keep in mind too, things change. Would there be any easy way to regenerate
the html/wiki when there's a new/changed man page?
It might be nice to have a qt-plus tool for generating html man pages on the
toaster box (locally).
Stop me, Please! ;)
