This program needs a CGI-capable HTTP server. After installation it might
be required to manually enable CGI support in the HTTP server (CGI may be
disabled by default for the security consideration). For apache2, this can
be done with the following:
.
$ sudo a2enmod cgid
$ sudo systemctl restart apache2
.
Features:
* Fast C CGI program for man/BSD-mandoc to HTML conversion.
* Works from the unformatted nroff/troff source.
* Source may be compressed.
* Does tbl tables (but not eqn equations).
* Generates hypertext links to foobar(1), abc@host, and xyzzy.h files
* CGI script for whatis-based alpha-indexes by section.
* CGI script for name-only alpha-indexes by section.
* CGI script for full text search (requires swish++)
* Front-end script to talk to a pre-launched netscape.
