Documentation extractor and renderer for Debian packages¶
Note
This project is now DEPRECATED. It has been
superseded by the debiman
project which was written after debmans was published, but without
the author being aware of its existence. The result is a go program
that is actually quite similar in design to debmans
but faster
and more complete. It is now the tool behind manpages.debian.org.
No further changes will be done on the source code here, which will probably live here as a reference indefinitely. More details about this story are available in this blog post.
debmans
is a tool to extract documentation (currently manpages) from
Debian packages and transform them into HTML for viewing with a normal
web browser.
This suite of tools is designed to run on manpages.debian.org, manpages.ubuntu.com, linux.die.net or similar services.
