NAME

6       mkhtmlindex - generate index files for HTML man pages
7

SYNOPSIS

9       mkhtmlindex htmlmandir
10

DESCRIPTION

12       The  mkhtmlindex program generates index files for a directory of HTML-
13       formatted manual pages.  It searches for files whose names are  of  the
14       form  “name.1.html”,  and outputs index files “manindex1.html”, “manin‐
15       dex.2.html”, and so on, one for each manual volume.  Empty index  files
16       will  be  removed.   Names  and  descriptions are found by scanning the
17       first <H2> section of each page.
18

OPTIONS

20       mkhtmlindex takes only one argument: the directory to process.
21

NOTES

23       This utility is currently rather specific to X manual pages.   In  par‐
24       ticular,  the format of the index files it outputs is not configurable,
25       nor is the HTML formatting it expects of manual pages.
