# Personal man page
|
|
|
|
This repo is for my personal man page. It uses `pandoc` to process markdown into a manpage. See https://gabmus.org/posts/man_pages_with_markdown_and_pandoc
|
|
|
|
1. create a markdown file for the manpage. We save it in section 7: _Miscellaneous Information Manual_, so it needs to be named `[name].7.md`.
|
|
|
|
2. create a file in man page format using pandoc:
|
|
```sh
|
|
pandoc --standalone -t man cheatsheet.7.md -o cheatsheet.7
|
|
```
|
|
3. Then symlink to the appropriate man file directory:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
ln -s /Users/hugh/coding/man/cheatsheet.7 /usr/local/share/man/man7/
|
|
```
|
|
Now you can run `man cheatsheet` and see your man page! |
