If you write man pages first time, it is quite close to clack magic. It would be really nice if someone comfortant with troff/nroff etc. would make Handbook page describing how to get started with it. Maybe even templates or script generating page sceletion and pointers to them under some handbook entry http://www.ee.freebsd.org/docproj/doc-set.html says, The [Documentation]Project does not really concern itself with these, since they are a part of the base system. best regards, taavi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
