Hi all,
I'm interested in building a troff parser to extract information from
manpages (e.g. what do the flags mean when we say `rm -rf *`?).
I'm curious, would the marked up source be the format to parse? And if so,
does troff have a specification that details troff formatting (e.g. what
.Sh or .Fl means)? I found this one
<http://cm.bell-labs.com/sys/doc/troff.pdf> and will have a read through.
Thanks!
