Running the grohtml pipeline as a pipeline

[Alejandro Colomar]

Hi Branden,

I'm considering using grohtml(1) in the Linux man-pages, to replace
man2html(1), which crashes on tzfile(5) --which has correct man(7)--.

Currently, I'm running groff(1) as its separate constituents:

        $ make build-ps -Wman2/membarrier.2
        PRECONV         .tmp/man/man2/membarrier.2.tbl
        TBL             .tmp/man/man2/membarrier.2.eqn
        EQN             .tmp/man/man2/membarrier.2.ps.troff
        TROFF           .tmp/man/man2/membarrier.2.ps.set
        GROPS           .tmp/man/man2/membarrier.2.ps

which runs

        $ make build-ps -Wman2/membarrier.2 --debug=print \
                | grep -Pv '^[[:upper:]]+\t';
        preconv   man2/membarrier.2 >.tmp/man/man2/membarrier.2.tbl
        tbl <.tmp/man/man2/membarrier.2.tbl >.tmp/man/man2/membarrier.2.eqn
        ! (eqn -Tps   <.tmp/man/man2/membarrier.2.eqn 2>&1 
>.tmp/man/man2/membarrier.2.ps.troff) \
        | grep ^ >&2
        ! (troff -man -Tps -wbreak  <.tmp/man/man2/membarrier.2.ps.troff 2>&1 
>.tmp/man/man2/membarrier.2.ps.set) \
        | grep ^ >&2
        grops   <.tmp/man/man2/membarrier.2.ps.set 
>.tmp/man/man2/membarrier.2.ps

What pipeline do you recommend for HTML, using a similar pattern?
So far, the only thing that seems to work is

        $ preconv man2/membarrier.2 \
                | tbl \
                | troff -man -Thtml -wbreak man3/_Generic.3 \
                | post-grohtml >g.html;

Although from pre-grohtml(1), maybe I shouldn't be running tbl(1)
myself?

Have a lovely day!
Alex
