Script to convert all system installed Man Pages to HTML
Here's a Bash Script to convert all system install Manual Pages into HTML into /tmp, using their subfolder structure.
From there, a user can use kindlegen (mobigen) or Calibre. Since I'm converting from grof to HTML to .mobi, I've gotten better results using Calibre to convert from HTML as it's fixed to handle TABLE html tags, unlike kindlegen. (Funny, I've been lately having so much fun reading man pages with my EInk - Kindle DX - device. Monitors are just too darn bright at times.) Be really great if all Linux Manual Pages were converted to either epub/mobi, include all GNU Manuals, Python documentation (somebody has privately done this already). Even if it is just .epub instead of .mobi, going from .epub to mobi is very easy as going from other formats can be troublesome. |
