Hi. I need to write a man page. I've browsed some of the FreeBSD doc pages, and I have a question that I couldn't quite find the definitive answer to. What is the simplest supported source format for writing man pages? Is nroff source format (ala man/man*) the best way to go (hope not), or is there another more-readable and -writable format such as XML (or SGML?) for which there might be -to-nroff-source conversion support. Would appreciate any tips to help stear me in the right direction. Thanks, Randall To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
