A blind user can easily browse (read through) a manpage on his Braille output system, or have it read to him with a speech synthesizer. Because the text in the manpage is continous (no subsectioning and branching across different documents), the flow of reading is much easier and requires less interaction. The "text only" method describes how things ARE, not how things LOOK LIKE, which seems to be the common way of "modern documenting" using screenshots that show pictures of a screen, and you need many of those pictures to describe a certain process, which often makes it look like a children's book. :-) -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
