mkhtmlindex - generate index files for HTML man pages
mkhtmlindex
htmlmandir
The mkhtmlindex program generates index files for
a directory of HTML-formatted manual pages. It searches for files whose names
are of the form lqname.1.htmlrq, and outputs index files lqmanindex1.htmlrq,
lqmanindex.2.htmlrq, and so on, one for each manual volume. Empty index files
will be removed. Names and descriptions are found by scanning the first
<H2> section of each page.
mkhtmlindex takes only one argument: the
directory to process.
This utility is currently rather specific to
XFree86. In particular, the format of the index files it outputs is not
configurable, nor is the HTML formatting it expects of manual pages.
