Look at: http://er4www.eng.ohio-state.edu/~jschrock/ This "man2html" is a /bin/sh script (yikes!) but does a really good job of on the fly man page to HTML. (It parses the nroff *output*, which is an interesting approach.) For speed and/or safety on public web servers some putting the output up rather than running the CGI might be advised. :-) There are half a squillion other converters, too, but this one I know to work well.
