## Projektgeschichte und Nutzung
xmltoman is a tiny XML-to-manpage converter made up of two small scripts: xmltoman for groff man-page output and xmlmantohtml for HTML. It targets simple structured manpage XML rather than the full DocBook toolchain.
### Projektgeschichte
The upstream README describes xmltoman and xmlmantohtml as very simple scripts for converting XML to groff or HTML, with examples based on generating a masqmail man page. The README is signed by Oliver Kurth and dated October 2002 and October 2003, and credits Lennart Poettering for stylesheets and the DTD.
The SourceForge project page lists the project as a small converter for usual manpage sections such as description, options, and see also, with a last update in 2013. That small surface is the history: xmltoman stayed a narrow script package rather than becoming a general documentation framework.
### Adoptionsgeschichte
xmltoman's adoption is niche but practical: it gives package authors a lightweight way to keep manpage source in XML and generate groff or HTML without adopting all of DocBook. Its presence in Unix package collections reflects that small-tool role.
### Wie es verwendet wird
Typical usage is direct and build-script friendly: run xmltoman on an XML file to produce a groff man page, preview it with man -l, or use xmlmantohtml or the supplied XSLT path to produce HTML.
### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren
xmltoman is a reminder that documentation tooling often survives because it is smaller than the fashionable alternative. For packages with simple man pages, a tiny XML schema plus a Perl converter can be easier to vendor, audit, and keep working than a larger publishing stack.
### Zeitleiste
- 2002-10-08: The upstream README records an early xmltoman date by Oliver Kurth.
- 2003-10-03: The README records a later update and credits Lennart Poettering's DTD and stylesheets.
- 2013-04-24: SourceForge lists the project as last updated.
### Related projects
- Related projects and technologies include groff man pages, HTML output, xsltproc, simple XML DTDs, DocBook alternatives, and manpage generators used in package builds.
