md2man is a Ruby library and command-line program that converts
Markdown documents into UNIX manual pages (both Roff and HTML).

Demonstration of HTML manual page output from md2man-html(1):

Version 2.0.0 (2013-05-05)

This release renames md2man executables and libraries to highlight the
fact
that md2man provides two processing pathways: one for Roff and one for
HTML.

Major:

  • Rename md2man(1) executable to md2man-roff(1).

  • Rename Md2Man::Engine to Md2Man::Roff::Engine.

  • Rename “manpage-reference” CSS class to “md2man-xref” in HTML
    output.

  • The Md2Man::Document#reference() method now takes only two
    parameters:

    • input_match - MatchData object for the reference in Markdown
      input
      containing the following named capture groups:

      • :page - name of the manual page

      • :section - section number of the manual page

    • output_match - MatchData object for the reference in output
      document
      containing the following named capture groups:

      • :addendum - non-space characters immediately after the
        reference in
        the output document

Patch:

  • Prevent cross-references from being expanded inside HTML tags.

Other:

  • Add md2man(5) manual page detailing md2man’s markdown file format.
