Is there man page making software?


I was wondering if anyone knew of any manpage making software? I have looked at the OSX manpages and dissected them, but I'm looking at something that will easily convert from a txt file to a manpage for me, much like Octopress converts from .markdown to .html for me. I'd prefer something that runs on OSX. Even an app that generates them on the fly.


Solution

  • Manpages are processed with troff, a typesetting system comparable to TeX.
