[comp.text.tex] Wanted: Latex style for Unix man pages.

russell@ccu1.aukuni.ac.nz (Russell J Fulton;ccc032u) (09/06/90)

I have seen the odd request for this in the past but a grep through 
the last 2 years texhax failed to turn anything up. (Except another request!)

Does anybody have such a thing? If you do please send me a copy and also
submit a copy to the archive at Clarkson.

Cheers, Russell.

May I suggest something along the lines of the GNU latexinfo? You can generate
an info format file or a LaTeX format file from the same source (it's
basically a bunch of macors suited to writing documentation, with processors
to do slightly different things with them; kind of like different overall
style files in LaTeX). I don't know if they've done man page stuff yet, since
groff is relatively new and they had been avoiding troff-like things because
they're proprietary ....				Eliot Moss
