How to convert man page to HTML on Linux and Unix

To convert a man page to HTML on Linux or Unix, you can use the man2html command. This command is usually included in the man-db package, which is often installed by default on most Linux distributions.

Here is an example of how to use man2html to convert a man page to HTML:

1. Open a terminal and navigate to the directory where you want to save the HTML file.

2. Run the man2html command and specify the man page you want to convert, followed by the > operator and the name of the HTML file you want to create:

man2html man_page_name > output.html

Replace man_page_name with the name of the man page you want to convert, and output.html with the name you want to give to the resulting HTML file.

For example, to convert the ls man page to HTML, you can run the following command:

man2html ls > ls.html

This will create an HTML file called ls.html in the current directory, containing the content of the ls man page.
