manlinker - another small Blosxom plugin
I am a lazy programmer, I am an admin and I don't like to type things
more than once if I can avoid it. hubertf has a world-class blog and he
carefully links all references to manpages like etcupdate(8) or rcorder(8)
and several others. I don't want to write the a href links all the time
so I wrote a small blosxom plugin for it. This plugin parses the article
for patterns like manpage(mansection) and converts it to a
HTML link to the NetBSD online manpages. Right now I don't have any fine
tuning possibilities inside the script, I just wanted something for
NetBSD. If someone sends me some feedback about it, I'll include other
manpage cgi script locations as well. FreeBSD has a very nice interface
to the manpages, including the NetBSD manpages. However, they don't have
NetBSD -current, so I am using the original NetBSD manpage script.
This plugin has no installation dependencies or other things to deal
with, just download it, drop it inside your blosxom plugins directory
and you are ready to go.
