No more ports with dodgy documentation!

I don't want to see any more ports with non-Amiga-like documentation.

I've released an update to PolyglotMan (rman) which can output AmigaGuide files given a UNIX man page.

Thanks to Spot for the original port of rman that I added this to.

So, no more HTML or plain text docs with ported software please

Wow! I'm glad that my port got used.
This is exactly what i wanted when i went looking for rman in the first place! Great job Chris! I'll take a look at your app now!

I probably wouldn't have even found it if you hadn't ported it initially. It's structured in a way which makes it incredibly easy to add new output formats, so it didn't take very long to do this.

There may be a few bugs, I know of one but it's only likely to be a problem if the output is subsequently run through GuideML (a somewhat convoluted way of generating HTML from man pages), oh and there's the spaces that occur at the start of the file sometimes, which appears to be a bug elsewhere in rman, but it's easy enough to load the file into Notepad and delete them.

I've submitted the new code to the original author, so there might be an official 3.3 release with AmigaGuide support eventually, if the email address is still monitored.

Good work!

I've already used it on the documentation for my dvdauthor port.
