MAN.HTML

NAME

	man.html

DESCRIPTION

Man.html is a CGI file that reads manual files under /sys/man/
and converts them to html format.
These manual files include lines such that

	href="/sys/man/preface.html"
	href="/sys/man/1/INDEX.html"
	ACTION="/magic/man2html"
I want to handle request that comes from these files without changing them.

Assuming we have

	/doc/man/man.html	# executable
in httpd space, we need two rewrite rules in $web/etc/rewrite:
/sys/man	/man
/magic/man2html	/man
and a line in $web/etc/handler:
/man/*	text/html	0	/doc/man/man.html

You will find the live example: http://plan9.aichi-u.ac.jp/man/
