mkhtmlindex1
Generate index files for html man pages
Usage
mkhtmlindex htmlmandir
Overview
The mkhtmlindex program generates index files for a directory of HTML-formatted manual pages. It searches for files whose names are of the form “name.1.html”, and outputs index files “manindex1.html”, “manindex.2.html”, 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.
Options
mkhtmlindex takes only one argument: the directory to process.
Notes
This utility is currently rather specific to X manual pages. In particular, the format of the index files it outputs is not configurable, nor is the HTML formatting it expects of manual pages.
