Hi All,

Does anybody know if there is a way to get the solaris (2.5) man pages into HTML
format (I know nothing of the format, except I can make html pages with
gnnpress) or has anybody already done it?

Also, a lot of our system documentation has been written by us in WordPerfect
(6.1) and we'd like to find a way to convert these documents to html, preserving
as much as possible the text formatting and encapsulated postscript diagrams.  
Any suggestions?

Any suggestions of other more suitable newsgroups if this is not appropriate
here?

Many thanks.

                   "nroff -man -Thtml /path/to/man/page"

to  obtain    a    man   page  in    HTML   format.    Take  a     look   to
http://www.gest.unipd.it/~jake/man for some examples and for "tab.html".

Note that the whole thing is not very refined:  I did it just  to see how it
would have  looked, so there are some  oddities  (e.g.: lines such "#include
<stdio.h>":  here "<stdio.h>  looks  like an unrecognized  HTML  tag and, as
such, ignored and not displayed).

I also   tried a cgi  script to  interactively ask for   a man  page,  but I
accidentally deleted it... :-(
