[RFC suggestion] Generate manpage directly with Asciidoctor

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

Asciidoctor has support for directly generating manpage, see [1].

We support using Asciidoctor as drop-in replacement for original
Asciidoc, but currently we need to use xmlto together with Asciidoc(tor)
to produce manpages. However, most users don't inclined to install
xmlto toolchain, partly because they had to download more than 300 MB
of data just to install xmlto and its dependencies (including dblatex
and texlive).

So completely migrating to Asciidoctor can eliminate xmlto requirement
for generating manpage.

What do you think about above?
