NAME

yodlmanpage - the manpage document type of Yodl

SYNOPSIS

The yodlmanpage document type is specifically implemented to write Unix-style manual pages. Other Yodl document formats, such as article, report and book are documented in the Yodl guide and in the manpage for yodlmacros.

DESCRIPTION

This manual page briefly describes the manpage document type of the YOLD document language. This document type is so specific that it warrants a separate manpage.

manpage documents do not use the `standard' sectioning commands (e.g., sect() and subsect()), but have specific manpage...() macros. You can however use (and are encouraged to..) other `normal' macros, such as description(...) or itemize(...) for lists, or bf() for boldface and em() for emphasis. As for fonts, the following is suggested:

Each manpage document in Yodl must be organized as follows:

FILES

The `normal' files of the Yodl package are relevant, notably the macrofiles in /home/fred/usr/share/yodl.

DIAGNOSTICS

When these requirements are not met, the yodl2... converters abort.
