DESCRIPTION

18       This manpage describes a processor / converter for manpages in the doc‐
19       tools format as specified in doctools_fmt. The processor is based  upon
20       the package doctools.
21
22       mpexpand ?-module module? format infile|- outfile|-
23              The  processor takes three arguments, namely the code describing
24              which formatting to generate as the output, the file to read the
25              markup from, and the file to write the generated output into. If
26              the infile is "-" the processor will read from stdin. If outfile
27              is "-" the processor will write to stdout.
28
29              If  the option -module is present its value overrides the inter‐
30              nal definition of the module name.
31
32              The currently known output formats are
33
34              nroff  The processor generates *roff output, the standard format
35                     for unix manpages.
36
37              html   The  processor  generates  HTML  output, for usage in and
38                     display by web browsers.
39
40              tmml   The processor generates  TMML  output,  the  Tcl  Manpage
41                     Markup Language, a derivative of XML.
42
43              latex  The processor generates LaTeX output.
44
45              wiki   The  processor  generates  Wiki  markup  as understood by
46                     wikit.
47
48              list   The processor extracts the information provided  by  man‐
49                     page_begin.
50
51              null   The processor does not generate any output.
52
53       mpexpand.all ?-verbose? ?module?
54              This  command uses mpexpand to generate all possible output for‐
55              mats for all manpages in the current directory. The manpages are
56              recognized  through  the extension ".man". If -verbose is speci‐
57              fied the command will list its actions before executing them.
58
59              The module information is passed to mpexpand.
