==About==
 
[[SpecialManPage]] is a simple extension for [[MediaWiki]] which allows [[manpage]]s 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. {{l/manpage|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.
