Man plugin for Dillo

Shows local manual pages as HTML in Dillo with clickable links to other manual pages. It uses the man(1) program to generate the HTML from the manual pages (with the -T html extension) and sed(1) to manipulate the HTML.

It comes with a CSS style file that improves the display of manual pages and can be modified to change the appearance.

Installation

To install the plugin use:

$ make install

The two files man.filter.dpi and style.css will be copied into ~/.dillo/dpi/man/. Edit style.css as needed.

Usage

The manual pages are accessed by the name of the manual page alone, man:bash, or with the section number in parenthesis to specify the manual section, man:read(3).

Here are some examples to test it from the command line:

$ dillo man:git
$ dillo man:namespaces
$ dillo "man:groff(7)"
