  • md2man

    πŸ“š Converts markdown into UNIX manual pages

  • I appreciate you sharing this! I wasn't aware of the exact ontology of how roff vs. man relate, and I went through several iterations of this post trying to get this right. There being other tools -- groff, nroff, etc. -- added to my confusion. A blog post unto itself is "here is what roff/man page/nroff/other variants are, here's how to use them." I would have appreciated a succinct description; I'm sure others would, too.

    As for markdown to roff, I thought about it as a v2. As I started to think about implementing a parser, someone shared https://github.com/sunaku/md2man with me, which appears to solve the problem.

    I'd need to figure out how to integrate this into my (Python) site that is built on GitHub Pages; a bit of tinkering would be required :D
