hi, in an effort to finally get my first package to my dear sponsor, i am going through the horrors of writing a manpage. and of course i want to do so with SGML and docbook-to-man. i have a couple of quick questions, please try to be swift with your answer ;_). i really tried to find online docs, but SGML and XML are totally too complex for me to learn right now... - how do i cross-reference? i have a manpage section INTERACTIVE MODE and i'd like to reference to it. how to do it properly? - how do i indent examples? i want to list a couple of standard command invocations, but there's got to be a SGML environment for that. how to? - how do i specify non-optional arguments in <refsynopsisdiv><cmdsynopsis><command>...</command><arg>...? - how do i refer to arguments in the synopsis from within the description text? more to come, probably. thanks. -- martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:" net@madduck linux is like a wigwam. no gates, no windoze, and an apache inside.
