Hello all, I'd like to present "Working With Manual Pages", available at http://sixshooter.v6.thrupoint.net/manpg/book.html The chapter SGML markup is at http://sixshooter.v6.thrupoint.net/manpg/chapter.sgml I used a doctored up book.sgml and some custom scripts to piece it all together. These are also available if needed. Currently there doesn't seem to be a lot of material on man page constuction and updating in the Handbook, the FDP, or the Developers Handbook. This chapter gives a bit of background, and some interactive examples for anyone interested in man pages. I intended to work through any corrections on groff or the mdoc package with Ruslan, but I understand he is on vacation this week. As a result, there may be some inaccuracies with those topics. Your comments and suggestions are welcome. Best Regards, jpb ===
