Description:
I write a number of my own programs, and have always had a bit of a problem writing the manpage, I have used the excellent 'ManEdit' but development on this has been stalled for a number of years.
So I finally decided to write my own and this is the result.
This is only the first draft and there is LOTS to be done, so bugs and suggestions are welcome, please click on the 'About' button in the program for my email address.
Development version is now available on Github:
https://github.com/KeithDHedger/ManPageEditor
git clone https://github.com/KeithDHedger/ManPageEditor.git
Please see the BUGS-ETC file for instructions on reporting bugs etc.
Bugs reported on these boards or sent as PM's will be ignored.
Gnome-terminal can NOT be used for the preview you may need to install xterm
*** NEW ***
Now has support for building on GTK3, use --enable-gtk3 to configure.
*** NEW ***
Added 'Import System Manpage' to file menu. Now just Select it from the menu and type the name of the manpage you want and optionally the section and the file is found and imported.
Added some support for non-English man pages ( the LANG env should be set ie LANG=pl_PL manpageeditor ).
Added 'New From Template' to file menu.
Added optional gzipping of exported manpages to prefs.
Added 'Use underline' to prefs this shows italic text as underlined text as most terminals do.
Added Import manpage.
Note importing a manpage WILL lose some formatting so if you import a page and then export it again there will be some minor visual differences, this can't be helped and is not a bug so please don't report it as such :)
Added 'Preview' to file menu, default is to preview in an xterm but you can change that in the prefs.
Added support for subsections, subsection names are displayed lower cased in the GUI but are upper cased for the exported manpage.
To install:
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-aspell
make
sudo make install
If you don't have aspell installed then don't enable it!
To Do:
Write a proper help file - DONE.
Add proper formatting instead of using text based tags - DONE.
Add optional zipping up of man pages - DONE.
Add preview option - DONE.
Add import manpage - DONE.
Make a proper icon - DONE.
Add a mime type for documents - DONE.
Add document icon - DONE.
Add 'Advanced' menu for fine control of formatting.

Added back modify font in gtk3 version, but will be broken by gtk devs again!

Because gtk3 stupidly doesn't let you set a font for a widget programatically, setting the font in the prefs has no effect in gtk3 use a css instead, I guess. THIS DOES NOT APPLY to gtk2 build.
