Practical UNIX Manuals
So you've written a UNIX utility, library, or driver—or have started writing one—and you want to document your work in a manual. What happens next?Sat Sep 14 13:55:15 2019 - permalink -
Practical UNIX Manuals: mdoc is a guide for writing portable and maintainable UNIX manuals (manpages) in the mdoc language.
Why mdoc? Formatters for the language are available by default on all modern UNIX installations and may be downloaded for non-UNIX systems. Furthermore, mdoc annotates content semantically, not presentationally, producing consistent manpages across systems. For an analysis of mdoc and competing formats, refer to Fixing on a Standard Language for UNIX Manuals, published in the USENIX magazine.
I also feature the History of UNIX Manpages http://manpages.bsd.lv/history.html , which chronicles the development of manpages from the 1960s to the present day.- http://manpages.bsd.lv/index.html

A case against syntax highlighting
Do you rely on syntax highlighting when developing software? If so, you may be shooting yourself in the foot. In this post, I will argue that syntax highlighting, while aesthetically seductive, moves focus from content to form, and discourages those who look at the code from trying to understand it. Interesting idea, there are a number of interesting things on this site (which I originally found via the Wikipedia link to tty).Wed May 23 15:16:14 2012 - permalink -- http://www.linusakesson.net/programming/syntaxhighlighting/index.php
