mpexpand - Markup processor
This manpage describes a processor / converter for manpages in
the doctools format as specified in dtformat.
The processor is based upon the package
doctools.
- mpexpand ?-module module? format infile|- outfile|-
- The processor takes three arguments, namely the code describing
which formatting to generate as the output, the file to read the
markup from, and the file to write the generated output into. If
the infile is "-" the processor
will read from stdin. If outfile is "-" the processor will write
to stdout.
If the option -module is present its value
overrides the internal definition of the module name.
The currently known output formats are
- nroff
- The processor generates *roff output, the standard format for
unix manpages.
- html
- The processor generates HTML output, for usage in and display
by web browsers.
- tmml
- The processor generates TMML output, the Tcl Manpage Markup
Language, a derivative of XML.
- latex
- The processor generates LaTeX output.
- wiki
- The processor generates Wiki markup as understood by
wikit.
- list
- The processor extracts the information provided by manpage_begin.
- null
- The processor does not generate any output.
- mpexpand.all ?-verbose? ?module?
- This command uses mpexpand to generate all possible
output formats for all manpages in the current directory. The
manpages are recognized through the extension
".man". If -verbose is
specified the command will list its actions before executing
them.
The module information is passed to mpexpand .
Possible future formats are plain text, pdf and postscript.
