Package manedit: Information

ManEdit is a UNIX manual page editor and viewer. It can be used as a direct
editor for UNIX manual pages (with no manual conversion steps involved) or
a viewer/browser. ManEdit uses the GTK+ widget set and requires the X Window
Systems.

In the ManEdit editor you can load one or more manual pages and edit each
section using ManEdit's manual page format to XML translation feature. Each
manual page is broken down into sections and one header for easier recognition
of the manual page format. If you are unfamiliar with the XML or manual page
formats, you should go to help->How To Write ManPages.

In viewer mode, you can search for an manual page installed in the global
manual page directories on the file system ManEdit is running on. There is
also an index feature which creates a complete catagory index listing of all
the manual pages installed on the file system (see view->index).

ManEdit also supports full Drag and Drop features between its process windows,
you can run ManEdit with multiple editor and viewer windows in a single process.
