ah, i'm looking for something more dynamic. it looks like maintenance of man2html has been taken over by someone else in late 2003, but they havn't done anything, though it looks like they've got big plans for the 4.0 release.

Dynamic, or automatic? I mean, are you writing man pages and updating them frequently, so you need a way to get an updated HTML version on-the-fly? Or do you just want a way to take existing man pages and convert them en-masse to HTML?

Not that I have an immediate, perfect solution either way, but you got me interested.

so, man2html hasn't been updated since '97 (hard to believe that's 7 years ago), and the man.cgi that comes with it doesn't work out of the box, and the tweaks i did to fix paths didn't really do anything for me (bleh), does anyone know of a modern cgi frontend for man2html that'll work with a modern linux distribution?

-d

In KDE, you can do

#subject

in the location bar in Konqueror, and then Save As html.
