man2html.txt -- perl scripts to convert man pages to web pages.
Adapted and extended for Minix by Kees J. Bot Posted 2004-11-21
Download: man2html.tar.Z
Man2html converts a man page to html. This is a perl script. Detailed
documentation by the original author, Earl Hood, can be found in the
doc directory.
This package for Minix includes man2www, a perl script by Kees Bot that
calls the man2html perl script for each man file in a specified
directory tree and produces a tree of html files, complete with a
whatis.html with links to each file.
Unpacking the man2html.tar.Z archive will create a man2html-2.0.2
directory. A good place to do this is in /usr/local/src. The perl
scripts require perl, of course. There is currently no way to run perl
on a 16-bit Minix system. Steven Young's port of Perl 5 for Minix
(http://minix1.hampshire.edu/pub/contrib/perl.tar.Z) requires 32-bit
Minix and at least 8 MB RAM. See additional notes about perl and about
installing the scripts, documentation, and man pages in the
README.Minix file enclosed in the archive.
