Multiple outputs is not duplicative? If the same info in the same format
is in two places, that rather sounds like duplication.
I can't say this with certainty, but I believe the man pages (and other
docs) are auto-generated. ie, there is one central source for the docs
(texinfo ?) and all other docs (man, html, etc) are generated from that
source.
Likewise for the "ffmpeg-all" man page. It's not a separately maintained
page, it's auto-generated from all the other man pages.
Again, I might be wrong, but I **think** that's the case.
Someone more knowledgeable really should confirm this.
Re man pages- last time I checked, those are not considered web pages and
have a different format & usage, therefore not the same. (OTOH, I don't use
the man pages, so..... see below.)
Many people DO use the man pages, so please don't consider removing them.
Again though, I believe they are auto-generated based on other doc
sources, so there's no need to maintain separate docs.
