??? Both serve two entirely different purposes. man pages are intended as a
quick _reference_ and as such are meant to be terse. One, at most two
pages, not more. Some of the man pages^Wbooks I have seen on linux defeat
that purpose, though. =8/
Tutorials and HowTo documents are well-suited for html, but when you need
those it is pretty clear you have to take your time, anyway.
And if you feel you cannot do without html docs, there are ?roff-to-html
converters.
