Hi Michael, I think you cannot make each software package maintainer to use your new tool. And, anyway, most people are fine with man pages. If there is one... But it is indeed possible to use modern tools to create textual documentation. With xmlto you can create man pages (and other formats) from the same docbook source. Yesterday I started using it and having found a basic docbook xml source I was able to write a small man page in two hours. Now the documentation project is in favor of the Publican system, which is yet unable to create man pages. - Gergely -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
