Dear reader,

This site finally got its much-needed overhaul. I tried to keep existing pages at their original URLs.
Should you find an error, please do tell me at contact@aspyct.org.
Feel free to visit the new website, which may contain more documentation pertaining to your search.

Thank you for visiting aspyct.org, I hope you'll find what you're looking for.

webmanner

What is it?

Yet another manpage to html converter, built and tested on OSX.

Although webmanner works under Linux, it does not recognize formatting yet. I’ll fix that as soon as possible.

Where to get the latest version?

Go check it out on the github repository.

Usage

Call it just like you would call the man, and redirect stdout to a file.
