class Asciidoctor::Converter::ManPageConverter

A built-in {Converter} implementation that generates the man page (troff) format.

The output of this converter adheres to the man definition as defined by groff and uses the manpage output of the DocBook toolchain as a foundation. That means if you've previously been generating man pages using the a2x tool from AsciiDoc.py, you should be able to achieve a very similar result using this converter. Though you'll also get to enjoy some notable enhancements that have been added since, such as the customizable linkstyle.
