About:
go-md2man is a tool that converts markdown files into roff format, which is the standard for Unix man pages. It parses markdown syntax and translates it into the appropriate troff macros used by man. This enables developers to write documentation in markdown and automatically generate properly formatted man pages.
Key Features:
  • Converts markdown to roff format
  • Generates standard man page sections
  • Lightweight and fast
  • Written in Go for cross-platform compatibility
Use Cases:
  • Creating man pages from markdown documentation
  • Automating man page generation in build pipelines
  • Converting existing markdown docs to man format
Alternatives:
  • ronn – Ruby-based tool with similar functionality but requires Ruby runtime
  • pandoc – Universal document converter that supports roff but is much heavier
