Bug#1070171: RFP: mangl -- An enhanced man page viewer



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name    : mangl
  Version         : 1.1.4
  Upstream Author : Ziga Lenarcic <ziga.lenarcic@gmail.com>
* URL             : https://github.com/zigalenarcic/mangl
* License         : BSD 2-Clause and BSD 3-Clause
  Programming Lang: C
  Description     : An enhanced man page viewer

mangl is an enhanced man page viewer with the following
features:
  * searching of man pages
  * hyperlinks to other man pages
  * search withing a man page
  * browsing history (back etc.)
  * colored text
  * GLFW GUI
  * truetype support
  * draggable scrollbar
  * keyboard and mouse interaction

The package is an improvement (in some cases) over what
the default man executable provide. In general it was written
to prevent resorting to online browsing of man pages because
the default viewer doesn't have linked pages.
Disclosure: I'm the author of the program and am willing to
adjust the build process etc. to help with inclusion in the
Debian packages.
