oloman

oloman can assist in creating troff man pages from .odt files. It works by recognizing specially-named styles in the original document (such as "manpage section header" or "manpage hyperlink"). Only the names matter, not the styles themselves, so you can give the html, PDF, or other version any appearance you like. Procedure: (1) Create a man page in OpenOffice or LibreOffice using specially-named styles (2) Export as .xhtml (3) Run oloman to convert exported xhtml to troff.
