xml2man
xml2man is a command line tool used to convert XML documents into man pages. It is primarily used for converting documentation written in XML format into the widely used man page format. This tool provides a convenient way for developers or technical writers to convert XML content into man pages without much manual effort. By leveraging xml2man, developers can easily generate man pages for their software, libraries, or other technical documentation. It accepts XML as input and produces man pages as output, following the standard man page structure. The tool ensures that the converted man page retains the necessary formatting, section headers, and content hierarchy. xml2man is typically used in conjunction with other tools or scripts in a documentation workflow to automate the conversion process and maintain consistency across documentation sources.
