Can anyone share some advice or suggestions for converting man pages (in groff -mandoc format) so they can be imported into lyx documents as regular lyx content?
(I mean regular lyx, so I can place footnotes, labels, cross references by different words.) I converted to html by using groff -mandoc -Thtml. I tried a http://html2latex.sourceforge.net/ and then attempted to import the latex, but many times it didn't import all. I also tried importing html, but it also only imported a small portion of the entire document. My workaround is to use groff to export as plain text (and pipe through col -b), then insert in lyx as paragraphs, and then manually add sections, bold, highlighting, item lists, etc. I read about some roff to tex tools on google, but they were from postings over eight years old -- and I assume that new -mandoc wouldn't format as well. (I am using lyx 1.3.2.) Thank you, Jeremy C. Reed http://bsd.reedmedia.net/
