@navi honestly gnu should have seen nobody uses info despite how much they push it, and bit the bullet to switch the doc to manpagesi do agree with them info is better than manpages, but everyone is used to manpages, so

@tusharhero @SRAZKVT mandoc gives the same structure as info does, so it's not even that much differentif the viewers didn't suck, we could have sections, jump lists for flags, etc, etc -- mandoc is very semantic but most distros default to man-pages which is just a flat groff render

@kimapr @tusharhero @rose yeah, if you pipe info it'll flat out the structure and print it, so i just pipe it to less and done

@tusharhero @rose @navi can you tho ? this easily ?also the pager itself is ass mainly because its binds are a pain , while less (the default for man) is actually friendly without eneding to know the binds to some esoteric text editor

@tusharhero @rose @navi id like to point out that the less project does not indicate any affiliation with the gnu project on their main webpage .

@navi reminds me that sometimes I feel like asking them about a POSIX.1-2024 update but well last update seemed to have been a bit hectic due to licensing…

@navi @tusharhero @rose @kimapr I guess if I ever end up packaging gnu stuff I might transform those into catman (preformatted manpages, bit of a 90's thing)

@lanodan @tusharhero @rose @navi @kimapr I can't believe nobody has done it yet. I wish it had been done when Scatman John was still alive, he would have found it hilarious.
