manThor already does this

Or you can use the "manThor" application for OS X, which gives a very nice view of the manual pages of interest. Much nicer to read!

unless manThor has been recently much improved, i'd recommend instead ManOpen, available on VersionTracker...

re this groff hack, the HTML rendering is interesting, but ManOpen has the advantage of live hotlinks for cross-refernces, and ManOpen also does apropos, and can be called from the shell (e.g. "openman ls").

Project Builder beats them all…

For those of us using the Developer Tools, Project Builder has an "open man page…" command in the Help menu. It outputs the best HTML formatting I've seen so far.
Try the man page for hdiutil, for example, which appears quite bad with groff.

I have the December Developer Tools installed, but that command isn't in the Help menu... Is it in a newer release?

Thanks, John

I have the April 2002 release... It must be a new feature then, sorry...
