mdocml consists of the libmandoc validating compiler and mandoc, which interfaces with the compiler library to format output for UNIX terminals (with
support for wide-character locales), XHTML, HTML, PostScript, and PDF.
- It also includes preconv, for recoding multibyte manuals;
- demandoc, for emitting only text parts of manuals;
- mandocdb, for indexing manuals; and
- apropos, whatis, and
- man.cgi for semantic search of manual content.

It is a BSD.lv project.

- mdocml is in plain-old ANSI C and should build and run on any modern system; however, you'll
- need libdb to build apropos, whatis, man.cgi,

- systems — see the Makefile if you're running Linux). To build and install into /usr/local/, just
- run make install. Be careful: the preconv, apropos, and whatis binary names are

- 23-03-2011: version 1.12.1
-
-
- Significant work on apropos and mandocdb. These tools are
- now much more robust.
- A whatis implementation is now handled as an apropos mode.
- These tools are also able to minimally handle pre-formatted pages, that is, those already formatted by another utility
- such as GNU troff.
-
-
- The man.cgi script is also now available for wider testing. It interfaces with mandocdb manuals cached by catman. HTML output is generated
- on-the-fly by libmandoc or internal methods to convert pre-formatted pages.
+ xx-xx-2012: version 1.12.4
- The mailing list archive for the discuss and tech lists are being hosted by Gmane at gmane.comp.tools.mdocml.user and gmane.comp.tools.mdocml.devel, respectively.
+ Ingo, can you summarise your changes here?
- Lastly, I'm no longer providing binaries, as nobody has asked for them.
+ The mandocdb tools (mandocdb, apropos (absorbing whatis), and man.cgi) have been re-written to
+ use sqlite3 as a database.
