============================== F E A T U R E S ==============================

PolyglotMan takes man pages from most of the popular flavors of UNIX and
transforms them into any of a number of text source formats. PolyglotMan
was formerly known as RosettaMan. The name of the binary is still called
rman , for scripts that depend on that name; mnemonically, just think
"reverse man". Previously PolyglotMan required pages to be formatted by
nroff prior to its processing. With version 3.x, it prefers [tn]roff source
and usually produces results that are better yet. And source processing is
the only way to translate tables. Source format translation is not as
mature as formatted, however, so try formatted translation as a backup

This version 3.3 is able to convert man pages to:

- ASCII      -- plain text
- TkMan      -- Tk format wrapped with commands
- Tk         -- just emit list of text-tags pairs
- Sections   -- simple plain text reformat
- Roff       -- primitive analogue of roff
- HTML       -- HTML 4.0 standard document
- XML        -- DocBook XML support by by Aaron Hawley
- MIME       -- generates MIME compliant to RFC 1563
- LaTeX      -- typical LaTeX
- LaTeX2e    -- rest same as old LaTeX
- RTF        -- Rich Text Format (RTF) could use more work
- pod        -- Perl 5 pod, plain old documentation format
- AmigaGuide -- AmigaGuide support by Chris Young

Filters excluded from the application:

- PostScript -- Use groff or psroff to generate PostScript
- FrameMaker -- FrameMaker comes with filters that convert from roff to MIF

============================ R E Q U I R E M E N T ==========================

PolyglotMan tested and worked fine on the following configurations:

- IcarOS i386               (Kickstart 51.51, Workbench 40.0, AROS ABIv0)
- AROS One i386             (Kickstart 51.51, Workbench 40.0, AROS ABIv0)

================================= U S A G E =================================

In Wanderer (or WB) you can use a RMAN tool-script by aGGreSSor
It's more convenient for conversion to Text, RTF, AmigaGuide, HTML or XML.
(Optional) installation can be done by clicking on the "Install" icon.

You can improve a man pages conversion to HTML if you use RMAN for man->RTF
conversion and use RTF2HTML (from RTF-riddle package) for RTF->HTML 5.0.

PolyglotMan is not perfect in all cases, but it usually does a good job,
and in any case reduces the problem of converting man pages to light editing.

You may need to delete all text from the beginning of the man-file to .TH tag
in the source man-file for getting the best conversion.  This  is  especially
true for the AmigaGuide because unrecognized tags appearing in man pages 
after 2003 will be converted to spaces. An AmigaGuide file that starts with
spaces will not open.

However, all filters are available to you from CLI
AROS release improvements AmigaDOS version and help ? support
