Hi all,
Every time I think about writing man pages, I look at mdoc.samples
and think, that looks *hard*. Isn't there an easier way? No smgl and
dsssl or xslt for man pages?
I know, if it's hard to read it should be hard to write.
If mdoc is the way, could someone tell me how widely it's used? I'm
part of a project that could use a lot of man pages, and I'd expect
the sources would wind up getting built on non-NetBSD systems.
Thanks for any guidance.
