- CHANGES for man2html
-
- MM/DD/YY
- ===========================================================================
- 12/22/95 (2.1.0)
-
- o The -cgiurl option is no longer required with the -k option.
- if -k is specified, man2html will process input as
- keyword search results, regardless.
-
- o Added a -solaris option (for lack of a better word). Solaris
- systems have a different keyword search output compared
- to other systems. Example:
-
- zcmp zcmp (1) - compare compressed files
- zdiff zcmp (1) - compare compressed files
-
- The topic appears first. Then the actual manpage of the
- topic is listed second. If your keyword search results
- look like this, then use the -solaris option.
-
- This option is only effective with the -k option.
-
- o Fixed bug when -nohead and -seealso are both specified.
-
- o Fixed bug in detecting overstriking. man2html was try
- to be clever about non-alpha characters within overstriked
- text, but it screwed up in other cases. The "cleverness"
- has been removed.
-
- o '+' characters are mapped to '%2B' in cross-ref URLs.
-
- o If -seealso is specified, all xrefs are detected after
- the SEE ALSO heading. I.e. Sections after SEE ALSO
- may contain hyperlinked xrefs.
-
- o Speed increase. The amount of increase will vary depending
- on the input.
-
- ===========================================================================
- 09/02/94 (2.0.2)
-
- o Add the -bare option (for lack of a better name). This
- will keep man2html from inserting the HTML, HEAD, BODY
- tags from the output. This is useful if used in a CGI
- script that wants to include the output from man2html into
- an HTML document.
-
-
- ===========================================================================
- 08/19/94 (2.0.1)
-
- o Fixed bug in not recognizing manpage cross-refs that
- had a combination of bold-overstriking,
- underline-overstriking, and plain text.
-
- o Fixed bug in not detecting a <, >, or & to convert to an
- entity if the character right before it was a <, >, or &.
-
- o Speed increase.
-
- ===========================================================================
- 07/18/94 (2.0.0 beta)
-
- o Support for processing output from 'man -k', i.e. a
- keyord search. Links are created for all manpages
- listed, and the manpages are sorted by section.
-
- o Can now properly detect manpage references containing
- '_', '.', '+' characters.
-
- ===========================================================================
- 07/15/94
-
- o man2html supports the ability to link to other manpages.
