About
SpecialManPage is a simple extension for MediaWiki which allows manpages to be displayed within the wiki as a Special page. It makes use of the "man" command's "--html" option which displays output in HTML instead of fixed-pitch plaintext. The page to display is requested within the URL, e.g. Template:L/manpage. Manpage contents can also be transcluded, but this may not be particularly useful until some features are added for excerpting sections of manpages rather than showing the whole thing.
