NAME
txt2man - convert flat ASCII text to man page format
SYNOPSIS
txt2man [-hpTX] [-t mytitle] [-P pname] [-r rel] [-s sect]
[-v vol] [-I txt] [-B txt] [ifile]
DESCRIPTION
txt2man converts the input text into nroff/troff standard man(7)
macros used to format Unix manual pages. Nice pages can be generated
specially for commands (section 1 or 8) or for C functions reference
(sections 2, 3), with the ability to recognize and format command and
function names, flags, types and arguments.
txt2man is also able to recognize and format sections, paragraphs,
lists (standard, numbered, description, nested), cross references and
literal display blocks.
If input file ifile is omitted, standard input is used. Result is
displayed on standard output.
Here is how text patterns are recognized and processed:
Sections These headers are defined by a line in upper case, starting
column 1. If there is one or more leading spaces, a
sub-section will be generated instead.
Paragraphs They must be separated by a blank line, and left aligned.
Tag list The item definition is separated from the item description
by at least 2 blank spaces, even before a new line, if
definition is too long. Definition will be emphasized
by default.
Bullet list
Bullet list items are defined by the first word being "-"
or "*" or "o".
Enumerated list
The first word must be a number followed by a dot.
Literal display blocks
This paragraph type is used to display unmodified text,
for example source code. It must be separated by a blank
line, and be indented. It is primarily used to format
unmodified source code. It will be printed using fixed font
whenever possible (troff).
Cross references
A cross reference (another man page) is defined by a word
followed by a number in parenthesis.
Special sections:
NAME The function or command name and short description are set in
this section.
SYNOPSIS This section receives a special treatment to identify command
name, flags and arguments, and propagate corresponding
attributes later in the text. If a C like function is recognized
(word immediately followed by an open parenthesis), txt2man will
print function name in bold font, types in normal font, and
variables in italic font. The whole section will be printed using
a fixed font family (courier) whenever possible (troff).
It is a good practice to embed documentation into source code, by using
comments or constant text variables. txt2man allows to do that, keeping
the document source readable, usable even without further formatting
(i.e. for online help) and easy to write. The result is high quality
and standard complying document.
OPTIONS
-h The option -h displays help.
-P pname Set pname as project name in header. Default to uname -s.
-p Probe title, section name and volume.
-t mytitle Set mytitle as title of generated man page.
-r rel Set rel as project name and release.
-s sect Set sect as section in heading, ususally a value from 1 to 8.
-v vol Set vol as volume name, i.e. "Unix user 's manual".
-I txt Italicize txt in output. Can be specified more than once.
-B txt Emphasize (bold) txt in output. Can be specified more than once.
-T Text result previewing using PAGER, usually more(1).
-X X11 result previewing using gxditview(1).
ENVIRONMENT
PAGER name of paging command, usually more(1), or less(1). If not set
falls back to more(1).
EXAMPLE
Try this command to format this text itself:
$ txt2man -h 2>&1 | txt2man -T
HINTS
To obtain an overall good formating of output document, keep paragraphs
indented correctly. If you have unwanted bold sections, search for
multiple spaces between words, which are used to identify a tag list
(term followed by a description). Choose also carefully the name of
command line or function parameters, as they will be emphasized each
time they are encountered in the document.
SEE ALSO
man(1), mandoc(7), rman(1), groff(1), more(1), gxditview(1), troff(1).
BUGS
- Automatic probe (-p option) works only if input is a regular file (i.e.
not stdin).
