Description

Code you'll find on this page is being used to render man formatted pages as wiki pages.

This class is being used as an extension to show documents on MAN_Страницы.

The class was written using reference from man man and troff/nroff quick reference. Since I used man gen_server as reference, the class doesn't try to parse anything beyond formatting used in that man page.

Usage

Create/edit a page.

Place man-formatted text between <manpage> and </manpage> tags.

Example

<manpage>
.TH Usage
.SH Subtitle
.RS 2
Text
.RE
.LP
More text
*
List
.LP
More text
.nf
Formatted
         text
.fi
</manpage>

which will result in:

Formatted
text

Changes

0.2.2
  * links to other man pages are now properly recognized and formatted

0.2.1
  + lists are properly formatted (list elements cannot be multiline)
  * extra <br> tags removed (e.g. after <h*>) 
    Unfortunately, wiki adds extra tags. Can't figure out a way to avoid this
