Daniel Stenberg ☛ curl docs format evolution
Part of providing best-in-class documentation has in my mind always been to provide and ship man pages. And to make sure that those latest up-to-date man pages are always offered to users as good-looking webpages on the curl site.
Over twenty years ago I decided to render the web versions of the man pages by creating my own tool for that purpose: roffit. We still use it on the site today. It is a simple tool that converts nroff formatted man pages to HTML and adds cross-referencing links to other man pages. There is no concept of links in nroff, but I decided to use a combination of text and markup to use as a signal and it has worked out fine since. In part of course because I have then also subsequently made sure to format the curl man pages in this roffit-friendly way.
