Hi, Lintian warns: no manaul page for /usr/bin/foo. So a good reason to create /usr/share/man/man1/foo.1.gz However, I would like to avoid create manually nroff files. My guess is there are markdown files that pandoc converts into nroff. Where to find such prior art? Regards Geert Stappers -- Silence is hard to parse

Hello, Geert Stappers le 06/09/2025 : > My guess is there are markdown files that pandoc converts > into nroff. Interresting. > Where to find such prior art? I found https://www.pragmaticlinux.com/2021/01/create-a-man-page-for-your-own-program-or-script-with-pandoc/ which globally says that with a specific header and sections declared as first level titles, you can call : pandoc foo.1.md -s -t man -o foo.1 Maybe ronn (https://manpages.debian.org/trixie/ronn/ronn.1.en.html) can do the job too. Hope that will help. Baptiste
