Operating Systems OS X (Apple) Changing OSX Terminal Man Page Colors Post 302387222 by tlarkin on Friday 15th of January 2010 01:19:06 AM

Here is a neat little trick I did to my ~/.bash_profile

Code:
function woman {
  tmpfile="/tmp/man ${*}.pdf"
  if [ \! -f "${tmpfile}" ]
  then
      man -t "${*}" | pstopdf -i -o "${tmpfile}"
  fi
  open "${tmpfile}"
}

now if you type 'woman' instead of 'man' it will export it to PDF...I posted this on my site and a guy posted his code that will export them to a tabbed page in safari, but I have not tested his script. It is in the comments section if you want to check it out.

NAME
mxmldoc - mini-xml documentation generator SYNOPSIS
mxmldoc --no-output [ filename.xml ] source file(s) ] mxmldoc [ --footer footerfile ] [ --header headerfile ] [ --intro introfile ] [ --section section ] [ --title title ] [ filename.xml ] [ source file(s) ] > filename.html mxmldoc --docset directory.docset [ --docversion version ] [ --feedname name ] [ --feedurl url ] [ --footer footerfile ] [ --header header- file ] [ --intro introfile ] [ --section section ] [ --title title ] [ filename.xml ] [ source file(s) ] mxmldoc --tokens path [ filename.xml ] [ source file(s) ] > tokens.xml mxmldoc --framed basename [ --footer footerfile ] [ --header headerfile ] [ --intro introfile ] [ --section section ] [ --title title ] [ filename.xml ] [ source file(s) ] mxmldoc [ --footer footerfile ] [ --header headerfile ] [ --intro introfile ] --man manpage [ --section section ] [ --title title ] [ file- name.xml ] [ source file(s) ] > filename.man DESCRIPTION
mxmldoc scans the specified C and C++ source files to produce an XML representation of globally accessible classes, constants, enumera- tions, functions, structures, typedefs, unions, and variables - the XML file is updated as necessary. By default, a HTML representation of the XML file is written to the standard output. Use the --no-output option to disable the HTML output. Man page source can be generated using the --man option. If no source files are specified then the current XML file is converted to the standard output. In general, any C or C++ source code is handled by mxmldoc, however it was specifically written to handle code with documentation that is formatted according to the CUPS Developer Guide which is available at "http://www.cups.org/documentation.php". OPTIONS
--docset directory.docset Creates an Xcode documentation set in the specified directory. --docversion version Specifies the version number for the Xcode documentation set. --feedname name Specifies the Xcode documentation set feed name, typically the project or company name. --feedurl url Specifies the Xcode documentation set feed URL which must point to an ATOM file linking to updates. --footer footerfile Inserts the specified file at the bottom of the output documentation. --framed basename Creates HTML documentation using frames - one for the table-of-contents and one for the body. --header headerfile Inserts the specified file at the top of the output documentation. --intro introfile Inserts the specified file before the table of contents. --man manpage Generated a man page instead of HTML documentation. --no-output Disables generation of documentation on the standard output. --section section Sets the section/keywords in the output documentation. --title title Sets the title of the output documentation. --tokens Generates a Tokens.xml file for use with the Xcode documentation tools.
