- Description
- A Unix Manual Page (.man) file contains documentation text formatted with troff/groff macros, typically using the man or mdoc macro package. These files are the source for the 'man' command documentation system used on Unix and Unix-like operating systems. They describe commands, system calls, library functions, and other system components.
- AsciiDoc is a lightweight markup language used for writing documentation, books, and articles in plain text. It uses simple, human-readable syntax that can be converted to formats like HTML, PDF, and EPUB. It is often used as an alternative to Markdown for technical documentation.
