The mandoc manual page parser and formatter package contains:
|
|
* the man(1) program to display manual pages
|
|
* the apropos(1) program to search for manual pages
|
|
* semantic search, regular expressions, and logical operators
|
|
* the makewhatis(8) program to build manual page databases
|
|
* the catman(8) program for bulk formatting of many pages
|
|
* the man.cgi(8) program to serve manual pages on the web
|
|
* complete validating parsers for the mdoc(7) and man(7) languages
|
|
* slightly incomplete parsers for the tbl(7) and eqn(7) languages
|
|
* support for some selected roff(7) requests that occur in manuals
|
|
* complete ASCII, UTF-8, and HTML text output formatters
|
|
* simple PostScript and PDF output formatters
|
|
* translators from the mdoc(7) to the man(7) and markdown languages
|
|
* output formatters producing indented mdoc(7) and man(7) parse trees
|
|
|
|
To format manuals for console display, it can be used as a smaller
|
|
and faster drop-in replacement for nroff -mandoc. Some rare manuals
|
|
using lots of uncommon low-level roff requests may not work with
|
|
mandoc but require a full roff implementation.
