NAME¶

roffit - convert nroff to HTML

SYNOPSIS¶

roffit [options] < inputfile > outputfile

DESCRIPTION¶

roffit converts the inputfile to outputfile. The inputfile must be an nroff formatted man page, and the outputfile will be an HTML document.

OPTIONS¶

--bare

The output HTML will not include any HTML, HEAD or BODY tags. Also not that when this is selected, there will be no inlined CSS but you will have to define the necessary classes yourself.

--version

Display version number and exit

--mandir=<dir>

Set a directory in which roffit will check for other man pages (in nroff [name].[num] format) that this one refers to. If found, a <a href> link will be made to that page with a html extension instead of the number. The file name in the generated link will be prefixed by the dir given with --hrefdir.

This works for references specified as manpage(3) (within the emhpasis foformatting) and in a plain .BR section (often used in the SEE ALSO section).

--hrefdir=<dir>

Specify a directory to prefix generated href links created with the --mandir option. This defaults to ".".

CSS CLASSES¶

h2.nroffsh

The nroff ".SH" section. These are normally the "headlines" before each sub section within the man page.

p.nroffip

The nroff ".IP" section. These are normally the bullet kind used to list each option out of several in a list. Usually followed by a p.level0 containining the descriptive text.
