Uhh, not.  Man pages lose for anything more complicated than the description
of one library function.

But I use texi2html occasionally to put documentation on the web.  Does
it meet your requirements?

Here's some info from its man page:

VERSION
       This is texi2html version 1.47, 03/11/96.
       The  latest  version of texi2html can be found in WWW, cf.
       URL http://wwwcn.cern.ch/dci/texi2html/

AUTHOR
       The  main  author  is  Lionel   Cons,   CERN   CN/DCI/UWS,
       Lionel.Cons@cern.ch.   Many  other  people  around the net
       contributed to this program.
