A script to open man pages in BBEdit
Authored by: jantonc on Jan 04, '06 08:49:04AM

a simple version of this is

man some-page | col -b | bbedit - --view-top --separate-windows -t "some man page"

no files required. gets the latest copy of the man page. you can save it if you wish. Positioned at the top, titled.

For some reason, zsh aliases aren't working with this command. Anyway, the function below works.

bman() { command man $* | col -b | bbedit - --view-top --separate-windows -t "$*"}
