README for man2html
$Id: README.Debian,v 1.3 2003/02/25 21:10:14 robert Exp $
Important note
==============
The man2html cgi programs, used to be installed in /usr/lib/cgi-bin
directory, but now are located in /usr/lib/cgi-bin/man.
Accessing the man pages
======================
1. If you have working web server (like apache, boa, roxen, etc.), you can
access your man pages with the following URL:
http://localhost/cgi-bin/man/man2html
2. If you have lynx(1) installed you can use its `lynxcgi' feature.
First add the following line to your lynx.cfg file:
TRUSTED_LYNXCGI:<tab>/usr/lib/cgi-bin/man
Than you can access the man pages using the following command:
lynx lynxcgi:/usr/lib/cgi-bin/man/man2html
3. You can also use hman script provided by this package.
Please see the hman(1) man page for more details.
Searching contents of installed man pages
========================================
To use full text searching in contents of installed man pages, you need to
install the swish++ package. (Original upstream package uses glimpse
for this purpose, but glimpse is no longer available in Debian, so this
package was modified to use swish++.)
After installing swish++ package, please run /etc/cron.weekly/man2html script
(cron will run it automatically once a week), and than you can use the
`Search the full text of the Manual Pages'
link found on the main page generated by man2html.
Additional informations
=======================
