Überblick
Converts flat ASCII text to man page format
Verlauf
txt2man is a shell and GNU awk tool that converts readable flat ASCII text into standard Unix man-page macros.
The script copyright dates txt2man to 2001-2003, and its changelog starts with the 1.4.6 release in December 2002. It was designed to let authors keep documentation readable as plain text while still generating standard nroff/troff man pages.
The project expanded from the core `txt2man` converter into companion tools. The 2006 changelog records `bookman` for generating books from man pages and `src2man` for extracting man pages from source files, turning the project into a small Unix documentation toolkit.
txt2man has unusually broad package-manager coverage for a small script: the supplied package facts list Alpine, Homebrew, Debian, Fedora, MacPorts, Nix, Arch, Ubuntu, and openSUSE packaging. That reflects the utility of a dependency-light documentation generator in distro build scripts and upstream release processes.
The later changelog entries are mostly portability and reproducibility work: BSD/GNU date compatibility, gawk warning fixes, SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH support, and reproducible-build changes. Those are package-maintainer concerns, which helps explain why txt2man stayed relevant after its initial early-2000s release era.
Users write a text file with recognizable sections, paragraphs, lists, cross references, and literal blocks, then pipe or pass it to `txt2man` to produce man(7) macro output. It can also preview formatted output through groff and a pager.
txt2man matters because it keeps the source of a manual page readable without hand-writing roff. For packagers, it is small, inspectable, friendly to reproducible builds, and suitable for projects that want man pages without adopting a larger documentation stack.
