<P><EM>&gt; Hi all developers,
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; I've never written a manpage before, but now it's time to start. What is
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; the best strategy and what tools to use?
</EM><BR>
Manpages are text files, written in a kind of markup language. A
<BR>
(standard unix) tool called groff is used to produce formatted documents
<BR>
from this.
<BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; I feel like this is a dumb question, but I didn't find some useful
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; information about this.

<EM>&gt;

There's a mini-HOWTO on writing man pages, see e.g.
<BR>
&lt;<A HREF="http://center.kernelnotes.de/LDP/HOWTO/mini/Man-Page.html">http://center.kernelnotes.de/LDP/HOWTO/mini/Man-Page.html</A>&gt;
<BR>
<P>and here is a good collection of groff documentation links:
