Follow-up Comment #3, bug #24871 (project freeciv):
Allegedly groff can output HTML, and defaults to -tPS (postscript) output. I
tested something claiming to be a polyglotman `rman.exe` in different
versions. That was interesting, but sadly ended as FAIL, it did not grok
UR..UE for an URL, and it somehow got into a state where freeciv-client.6.in
was mostly displayed in italics.
The most bizarre idea I found with Google was to run docker to sandbox a Linux
to run a man2pdf tool. I also tested some gnuwin32 groff.exe, but that was
another FAIL.
PS wouldn't be too bad, I have a working PsViewer based on a working
ghostscript to convert PS to PDF on the fly, and then hoping that I can view
PDF, which happens to be the case.
Summary, if it's GNU, and you're on Windows, *run* as far and as fast as you
can, unless you plan to waste hours with no results.
