man2ebook
A tool to convert all installed man pages to a simple ebook with contents in the head.
Maybe this could be only a small shell script but if not I will use Python.
Why man pages as ebook?
Because I want to read them comfortable on my ebook reader when traveling but all man pages in one book. Not more... ;)
Helpful libraries and tools
- https://pandoc.org/ - Haskell - Then maybe make use of https://pypi.org/project/pandocfilters/, https://pypi.org/project/pypandoc/ or https://pypi.org/project/pandoc/. (very mature features for document conversion like direct manpage input and epub output, but I don't know much about pandoc, so I need to discover this.)
- https://www.gnu.org/software/groff/ (man -Thtml df > df.html)
- https://linux.die.net/man/1/man2html (is nice because it must not generate html, head and body)
- https://pypi.org/project/epubmaker/ - Python (maybe nice but unmaintained)
- https://docutils.sourceforge.io/ - Python (as I can see now it only converts from .rst files.)
