Introducing scdoc, a man page generator
Read OriginalThe article introduces scdoc, a new man page generator created to address shortcomings in existing tools like asciidoc and ronn. It details scdoc's key features: an easy-to-read Markdown-inspired syntax, minimal dependencies (under 1,000 lines of C99), and a focus on man pages as a first-class output. The author explains the motivation and how scdoc improves maintainability, using the migration of the sway project's manual as an example.
