This is something I've had on my to-do list for a while. If you can figure out a solution, that would be great, since there's quite a bit of information that needs to be copied between man pages. We use that extensively in our nroff man pages. In fact, if we had that and a way to include build-time definitions such as the @RUNDIR@ and @VERSION@, then I think we could replace all our nroff man pages with XML. --Justin _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
