SlackBuilds/system/mandoc

mandoc is a suite of tools compiling mdoc, the roff macro package of
choice for BSD manual pages, and man, the predominant historical
package for UNIX manuals. It is small, ISO C, ISC-licensed, and quite
fast.

The tool set features mandoc, based on the libmandoc validating
compiler, to format output for UNIX terminals (with support for
wide-character locales), XHTML, HTML, PostScript, and PDF. It also
includes preconv, for recoding multibyte manuals; demandoc, for
emitting only text parts of manuals; mandocdb, for indexing manuals; and
apropos, whatis, and man.cgi (via catman) for semantic search of manual
content.

This slackbuild will conflict with stock man or man-db packages in a
default Slackware install. They should be removed with removepkg prior
to installing mandoc.

After installing, make sure to (re)create the mandoc specific "whatis"
database(s) in your manpath(s), eg.:

# makewhatis /usr/man /usr/local/man
