Oops this whole lua transformation needs pandoc 2.17 and 22.04 is stuck on 2.9... This method has the advantage of giving a good layout on manpages, github preview and mkdocs. But the lua filter is a bit complicated. I also tried to rewrite the man files with definition lists but they don't render very well. Mkdocs is supposed to handle them but in practice it breaks if a code block is nested inside a definition. Solutions?
EDIT: went with the graceful degradation! |

hmm I guess something is wrong with my autoconf. The file appears when running EDIT: yes it was the wrong version check for pandoc. Gave up on it... |
* convert existing markup to use definition list (a bit hacky...) * rewrite title to pandoc man metadata * reduce heading nesting to match most man pages * inline code displayed as bold, also common man style
- autoconf: * generate in source directory if pandoc found * install from source directory - meson: * generate and install with build directory if pandoc found * try to install from source directory if pandoc not found * bail otherwise
Man pages look better with pandoc >= 2.17
