rawman2html

I needed to convert some man pages to HTML, so I went searching the net. I found a few existing tools, but they all had problems. Required the page to be pre-formated, produced invalid HTML, failed to format properly, etc.

Step 2, reinvent the wheel. My version is a smallish Perl script that has readability of the output HTML a priority. It takes into account some common man source mis-structured formatting techniques.

download
version 0.6

known bugs
It doesn't (yet) handle in-line font changes.

example
It converts this vsftpd.conf.5 source from vsftpd into this HTML.
