Re(4): [Ilugc] Volunteers? New man page doc project

do `info libc` and see how many examples you get. Just for an
example. Info pages are giving you almost the complete details (usage,
specifications, limits etc).
Its inappropriate to say that info pages dont give you examples :)
its the `man` which gives you the explanation for the options, which
is how it should be. I dont want to be shown the examples each time I
want to have a quick look at the list of options a command gives me.
May be you should work on man2 or mane (man with examples). And people
who want to see examples in man pages can use your version of 'man'
pages. I wouldn't want my man pages to have example code, please!

"Isn't that one of the reasons we have info pages?"
info pages don't give you examples, only an
explanation for the options. We are more concerned
here about giving illustrative examples.
"I think you should be considering DocBook XML for
documentation - you
can choose man, info, HTML, rich text format or plain
text output after
preparing the documentation proper and marking them up
(or mark-upping
them?)"
Sure,
Shaks
