NAME
       mkhtmlindex - generate index files for HTML man pages

SYNOPSIS
       mkhtmlindex htmlmandir

DESCRIPTION
       The mkhtmlindex program generates index files for a directory of HTML-formatted manual pages.  It searches for files whose names are of the
       form "name.1.html", and outputs index files "manindex1.html", "manindex.2.html", and so on, one for each manual volume.	Empty index  files
       will be removed.  Names and descriptions are found by scanning the first <H2> section of each page.

OPTIONS
       mkhtmlindex takes only one argument: the directory to process.

NOTES
       This  utility is currently rather specific to XFree86.  In particular, the format of the index files it outputs is not configurable, nor is
       the HTML formatting it expects of manual pages.

AUTHOR
       David Dawes wrote the mkhtmlindex program for XFree86.

       Colin Watson wrote this manual page, originally for the Debian Project.
