Component body

This module implements a filter that renders Unix manpages in nroff format as HTML. Manpage nroff code may either be embedded in a non-manpage node, wrapped in a user defined tag such as <man>...</man>, or the entire content of a node may be parsed as nroff code.

At the moment, the man2html program is used to do the heavy lifting. The Manpage module post-processes its output heavily to produce more appropriate code. This post-processing is, of course, configurable.
