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. ssh. 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.
