Hi everybody,
I don't normally stump for this sort of thing but I'm pleased with
several of the new features we've got coming for a better man page
browsing experience in groff 1.23 and I thought I would share them.
Long story short, we have navigable man pages in PDF output (thanks to
Deri James), and "man:ls(1)" style man page hyperlinks for terminals
(and HTML, of course).
Please find a screenshot attached.
Let me know if this looks good, or doesn't.
It looks good.
While I don't read man pages in PDF, I have written a few PDF documents
using man(7), and for those, this feature is great.
P.S.: I tried ms, as you recommended, but I'm not yet convinced by it.
I'll still use man(7) for a while, I think. My only problem with man(7)
is .TH, which I can't remove :/
Cheers,
Alex
