Subject: Servers for WWW/HTML?
Status: RO

Does server software exist to produce HTML marked up (Unix?) manual pages
on request? Presumably this sort of application would be generally useful, for
example for individual hardware manufacturers, program manuals, PC manuals etc.

In short, any type of on-line manual which has structured manual pages.

I am sure that there are servers around the world which do this, but it
would make sense if the software were distributed to take a load off the
host machines, and also to speed up access for end users, who would access
local rather than remote servers.
