Subject: manpages notes


Could something like the following be added to the README? 
 
  The contents of <refname> will be used to create the  
  file name of the man page. 
 
  The contents of <refentrytitle> will be converted to  
  ALL CAPS and used, with <manvolnum>, to decorate the 
  bottom right and top corners of the page. 
 
  The <indexterm> is not used in creating the page. 
 
  In order to document two or more items using the  
  same page, add additional refnames to <refnamediv>. 
  The secondary reference will generate a small file 
  that points to (via the magic of *roff)  
 
    man[manvolnum]/[primaryname].gz 
 
   
[Writing this up in docbook format, providing a script to 
turn it into a man page, and then providing the man page 
would be really useful.  Give me another few days....] 
 
Thanks, 
 
Barry
