  Description     : Graphical documentation browser (man, info, html books)

(Include the long description here.)

Dox is a graphical documentation browser for Unix/X11. 

Features: 

- Manpage browser. 
- Info browser. 
- Access to books in HTML format via their respective table of
  contents. glibc and STL are included in the release, others can be
  downloaded.
- Integration of Debian's docbase. 
- Access to books in HTML format via their respective keyword index. 
- Search in manpage titles and contents (cf. apropos and whatis). 
- Interface to the pydoc and perldoc utilities. 
- Fulltext search in HTML documentation 
- Extensibility: Tables of content and keyword indices can be added by
  installing simple XML files to be extracted from the documentation.

- Remote controllable from the shell. 
- A utility for converting tags files generated by Doxygen to keyword indices.

For compiling Dox needs Qt 3.0, not 2.x.  Although it integrates
nicely into KDE, it does not require kdelibs.
