About:
texi2mdoc is a command-line utility that converts Texinfo documentation into mdoc format, which is used by BSD systems for manual pages. It enables developers to maintain a single source of documentation in the widely used Texinfo format and produce native man pages. This tool is particularly valuable for projects targeting multiple Unix-like systems that require both info and man page outputs.
Key Features:
  • Bidirectional conversion between Texinfo and mdoc formats
  • Preserves semantic structure and cross-references
  • Lightweight, fast, and scriptable
  • Part of the mandoc toolkit, ensuring high-quality output
Use Cases:
  • Generating BSD manual pages from existing Texinfo documentation
  • Maintaining cross-platform documentation with a single source
  • Automating documentation builds in CI/CD pipelines
Alternatives:
  • pandoc – More general-purpose document converter, but heavier dependency and less specialized for man page formats
  • makeinfo – Generates Info and HTML from Texinfo but does not produce mdoc man pages
