Well, i think we've got a special case here. Plain ol' man pages should be converted by such a tool, which i think involves a lot of guessing. -mdoc pages should better be converted from the source. The mdoc format contains everything you need to construct HTML from it, you `only' need to establish a mapping between the related features. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
