info2pod
converts GNU info data
to POD format [http://www.perldoc.com/perl5.6/pod/perlpod.html]
for easy transcription to various formats like HTML.
info2man
is a wrapper for info2pod
to convert info files
into nroff -man
format.
My personal man command
knows to use this on info files to pretend they're
part of the normal UNIX man documentation.
I just add the info directories to my $MANPATH
and go!
The info2man.tar.gz
tarball
contains the two scripts and the necessary Perl modules.
Why info2pod?
Of course, the only way to do that is to fire up emacs or to use their weird info tool, which doesn't act much like a pager at all and violates the ``use my preferred pager'' approach people should be able to expect.
