# The misc/tkman port

## tkman-2.2 – Tcl/Tk-based manual browser

## Description

    A manual page reader, TkMan offers two major advantages over xman:
    hypertext links to other man pages (click on a word in the text which
    corresponds to a man page, and you jump there), and better navigation
    within long man pages with searches (both incremental and regular
    expression) and jumps to section headers.  TkMan also offers some
    convenience features, like a user-configurable list of commonly used man
    pages, a one-click printout, and integration of `whatis' and `apropos'.
    Further, one may highlight, as if with a yellow marker, arbitrary
    passages of text in man pages and subsequently jump directly to these
    passages by selecting an identifying excerpt from a pulldown menu.
    Finally, TkMan gives one control over the directory-to-menu volume
    mapping of man pages with a capability similar to but superior to xman's
    mandesc in that rather than forcing all who share a man directory to
    follow a single organization, TkMan gives control to the individual.  In
    fact, one may decide he has no use for a large set of man pages--say for
    instance the programmer routines in volumes 2, 3, 4, 8--and eliminate
    them from his personal database.
