If you don't know about UNIX manual pages, you're missing out on a lot. Try typing man latex into your shell. Manual pages should be available for quite a few different commands, utilities, functions, shells, protocols, and system calls. You can also access manual pages on unix.com through the 'man' link in the top bar, though as it turns out, not for latex.

dwww-format-man

DWWW-FORMAT-MAN(8)						      Debian							DWWW-FORMAT-MAN(8)

NAME

       dwww-format-man - batch format manual pages for dwww

SYNOPSIS

       dwww-format-man [-v|--verbose] directory ...

DESCRIPTION

       dwww-format-man	looks  for manual pages in the directories named on the command line.  It formats each manual page, and puts the formatted
       version into the dwww document cache.  System administrator's can run dwww-format-man if they want to make it  faster  to  retrieve  manual
       pages  via  dwww.   If  dwww-format-man	is  not  run, dwww will automatically format manual pages not in its cache.  Long pages take a few
       moments to format, but rarely so slow that it is worth running.

       dwww-format-man runs dwww-convert(8) with privileges of DWWW_CGIUSER (see dwww(7).

OPTIONS

       -v, --verbose
	      Print each proceeded file name.

SEE ALSO

       dwww(7), dwww-convert(8).
