I've recently written some software for FreeBSD and I would like to write some man pages for them. How do people make manpages today? Do they write in troff directly? I know nothing of troff. Are there tools that perhaps convert a subset of TeX to troff? Do people generally take existing man pages and modify them to create new ones, or is there a blank template for new man pages? I've checked the FAQ and Handbook and came up empty on this topic. Thanks, David P.S.: Please reply to dpetrou@cs.cmu.edu besides the list, as I'm not subscribed to these lists.
