I want something simpler that I can trust. I don't trust programs that return random exit codes. (man2html uses "void main", which means the exit code is random, and usually not 0.) The code is too big for me to review it properly, which means I can't modify it with any degree of comfort. It's more efficient for me to write a small filter to do most of the job: dwww-txt2html.c is 230 lines, about 50 of which are specific to manual pages. The rest is needed for plain text files anyway. man2html also doesn't support non-English manual pages, but that's not really a problem, since dwww looks for the page with man anyway. It outputs a reply to an HTTP request, making it unusable as a dwww filter, but that could be fixed (though not by me). dwww has an easy way to override my simpler program, because except for minor stupidities, man2html isn't not a bad program. -- Please read <http://www.iki.fi/liw/mail-to-lasu.html> before mailing me.
