About:
Xmltoman is a command-line utility that transforms XML documents into UNIX manpage format (troff). It provides a straightforward way to generate manual pages from structured XML source files, streamlining documentation workflows for developers and system administrators.
Key Features:
  • Converts XML to troff format for manpages
  • Lightweight and fast processing
  • Simplifies documentation generation
  • Command-line interface for easy automation
Use Cases:
  • Generating manpages from XML documentation sources
  • Automating documentation builds in software projects
  • Converting existing XML docs to standard UNIX format
Alternatives:
  • docbook2man – DocBook2Man is more feature-rich for DocBook XML but heavier; xmltoman is simpler and more lightweight
  • pandoc – Pandoc is a universal document converter with broader format support but larger dependency footprint
