Need access to documentation while editing a shell-script or a perl-program with the vi editor in the terminal window? Instead of interrupting the editor and typing in a *man* or *perldoc* command, use one of the links below.
📄 Display perl's pod-documentation (perldoc, try *perl* as value)
📄 Display Linux man-pages (try *man* as value)
If you are using another programming language and there is a similar documentation utility available, please contact me, i might be able to accomodate this too. See the contact-info at the end of this page.
The perl-program *pod2gmi.pl* for this service will execute the command *perldoc -u [docname]* to search for the correct file and filter out the raw POD documentation. This raw POD-text is then parsed by Pod::Simple::SimpleTree and then just converted as best as possible into a Gemini document. Links in the perl-documentation are collected and then added as a Link-Section at the end.
The perl-program *man2gmi.pl* for this service will execute the command *man --no-hyphenation--no-justification [docname]* to search for the correct manual and format it as a plain text with no word-wraping. This text is parsed to collect all links and the text is converted as best as possible into a Gemini document. The collected Links are then added as a Link-Section at the end.
