Generating a PDF from the grep man page, for example, using:
man -t `man -w grep` | ps2pdf - grep.pdf
which, by default, is actually
/usr/bin/groff -Tps -mandoc `man -w grep` | ps2pdf - grep.pdf
results in a fairly unattractive PDF file. The man page title is
dropped from the output, and the top margin is borked.
On the other hand, using
/usr/bin/groff -Thtml -mandoc `man -w grep` > grep.html
yields something more satisfactory, but not in a format for printing.
I'm finding that reading through the groff man page(s) is like
[obligatory hippo joke], so I'm hoping I'm missing something obvious.
Thanks.
man groff | enscript -p - | ps2pdf - groff.pdf
