I'd like to read Markdown files like man pages. I can do this:
pandoc README.md -t man --standalone > tmp_file && man ./tmp_file
However, I'd like to do this without creating a temporary file. I tried:
man <(pandoc README.md -t man –standalone)
But I got an error:
fgets: Undefined error: 0
Error reading man page /dev/fd/63
No manual entry for /dev/fd/63
Any ideas? I did look at this question, but that doesn't work on macOS's version of man, it seems.
I really don't care about using man, per se, but I'd like to be able to view prettily-formatted Markdown files in the terminal. pandoc can convert to groff, which I can then send to man to get the nice display. Is there a program that man uses under the hood that might work?
