man page output

2003-03-24 Thread Joe Orton
It's actually pretty easy to get man pages out of the XML if you go via DocBook. Recent versions of the docbook-xsl stylesheets include the db2man XSL mentioned in STATUS for converting a DocBook into a man page. I've attached the XSL I used to go from to , and the httpd.1 produced from httpd.x

[PATCH] man page style tweaks

2003-11-25 Thread Joe Orton
1) use .SS not .Sh for subheadings, and don't capitalize these headings. The groff_man manpage says .SS is the macro to use for subheadings. 2) remove indents for lists - these just create too much whitespace. It's normal for man page options list to have the same indentation level for the firs

[PATCH] mod_log_config %[bB] clarify

2005-01-24 Thread Joe Orton
We keep seeing people confused that %[bB] mean different things in 2.0 to 1.3, and the docs don't really do a lot to help here. Something like this is more accurate and useful, I think: any comments? Index: mod/mod_log_config.xml ===
