SIMPLE! Write man pages / Docutils and tweaks

Posted 08-01-2017 at 02:59 AM by Michael Uplawski
Updated 08-05-2017 at 12:31 AM by Michael Uplawski (... bunch of bad wording. Categories missing)

Write a bunch of man pages with Docutils and a few simple tweaks
Subtitle: Do it now!
You can write man-pages in many ways, notably by just coding it with “Troff” or “Groff”. Anyway, the resulting man-page can always be opened in an ordinary text-editor or pager and may look a lot like my own man-page for Timequiz:

Code:
user@machine:/tmp$ more ./test.man

.TH TIMEQUIZ  "" "" ""
.SH NAME
TIMEQUIZ \- play a history

Updated 12-31-2023 at 05:32 AM by Michael Uplawski (version 1.1.7)

Edit 31/12/2023: A new version 1.1.7 of Cremefraiche is available on rubygems.org. It comprises some bug fixes, the license is now wtfpl-2 and more HTML-garbage may be handled to render the PDF readable.
Years ago, I wrote a ruby-program which converts Email to PDF, then ignored it.
Discussions of GTK3 and the pros and cons of the decisions taken by the Gnome- and GTK-developers awakened again my interest in the program, as it comes with an optional GTK3 user-interface.
