Hi Andre-John,
I am currently using the following script for generating PDF version
of my man pages:
http://www.aasan.org/download/man2pdf
To add extra value I would like to have the references to other man
pages to be hyper-links, since I will be using them in a web browser.
Can anyone suggest a way doing this?
Are you aware of Keith Marshall's pdfmark macro package? It's
available
under contrib in recent groff versions. It lets you create a link in
PDF files, amongst other things. I'd guess if you're viewing
file:///home/andre/man/man3/malloc.pdf
and it has a link to ../man1/vgrind.pdf then that would work?
I wasn't aware of it. Thanks.
Just one question, how would I use it - my groff knowledge is fairly
weak.
I tried:
groff -mpdfmark -c `man -w csh` > out.pdf
but that generated a postscript file without the right formatting.
Andre
