since we want to move away from docbook and having docbook manpages around is going to block further progress we have to translate the current nixos manpages from docbook it *something* else. mdoc seems the most appropriate choice since markdown can't represent all the things manpages can differentiate with even more extensions. if we ever need html manpages we can render them using troff, like many of the online manpage viewers, or rewrite them again. since we haven't had html manpages for any of these in many years that seems unlikely to happen. unlike most of the recent markdown conversions this comes with a lot of minor rendering changes, mostly in spacing. docbook-xslt creates manual pages in a very different dialect than mdoc (which is used here). |
