Convert mallard ducktype to mallard xml

Usage

ducktype [{--output=OUTPUT | -o OUTPUT}] INPUT ...

Overview

The ducktype(1) tool converts Mallard Ducktype, a lightweight markup language for topic-oriented help, into Mallard XML.

Options

--output=OUTPUT, -o OUTPUT

Set the output file or directory name. The default is to take each input pathname, remove any .duck suffix and append .page. If there is exactly one input file, OUTPUT may be a filename. Otherwise, OUTPUT must be a directory name, and files will be created in that directory instead of in the same directory as the input.
