values to produce a better groff HTML output (Due to a bug of groff2html?).
A setting of 4 should look readable. Here's an overview again:
- - groff: groff is the "official" tool to convert man pages.
- To get good results you need a recent version (1.18.2).
- groff -mman -Thtml mplayer.1 > mplayer.1.html
- groff -mman -Tlatin1 -rLL=78n mplayer.1 | col -bx > mplayer.1.txt
- The groff man page lists other output formats to use with -T.
-
- Unfortunately groff is not able to handle UTF-8 input as of
- version 1.19.2. groff-utf8 is a wrapper that works around these
- deficiencies:
- http://www.haible.de/bruno/packages-groff-utf8.html
-
- - man2html: You can view it through a CGI script:
- http://localhost/cgi-bin/man2html?mplayer
- The output is unusable as the script doesn't seem to support
- the macro definitions. Maybe manually changing all leads to
- acceptable results.
-
- - rman: rman -f html mplayer.1 > man_page.rman.html
- The output is ugly as rman doesn't understand many of the
- macros used.
-
- - troffcvt: troff2html -man mplayer.1 > man_page.tcvt.html
- The (good) output is similar to groff but simplified...
