Anybody having luck in creating man pages?
1 Attachment(s)
Hi All,
I'm trying to create some man pages...actually tutorials in man page format. The reason behind is, most of the time i work in CLI mode. i also use gui when i want to browse internet/youtube, watch movies or listen to music. Worse than that is, since most of my tutorials/notes that i have created are in Microsoft OneNote format, so not only i have to keep X11, but also in VirtualBox "Win-7 => Office 2010" virtual machine. This has become really frustrating.. work in tty...press <ctrl><alt><f1> and goto GUI...open VirtualBox...open Windows OS...open OneNote...Hit again <ctrl><alt><f2>.. and continue..etc. Not only i'm unable to leave behind Windows OS and x11, but i'm also wasting a lot of time for just switching from this to that and again from that to this... I solved most of my problems by switching to some of cli applications. Split terminal => tmux Browser => links2 -g Video => cvlc Music => cmus Bittorrent => transmission-remote ...etc But i am struck with my notes. so i thought to convert my tutorials and notes in man page format so it will be native to linux and also easy to use as its in man page format. So started my adventure... after learning how to create man pages, i started to create them. NOT SO EASY as i had thought earlier... its so confusing. After spending first 2-3 hours, I barely managed to complete half the page. Attached is the ScreenShot of incomplete man page. Following is the code for that. Code:
.TH md-manpage 88 "19 October 2013" "CentOS 6.4" "Create Man Pages" So my question - has anybody dealt with creating many man pages...easily? Then, how to do it? There is no WYSIWYG editor for man pages, as for as i know. i also tried txt2man, but it still needs formatting. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks |
