DTP, the DocTools Processor
===========================
Introduction
------------
The DocTools Processor is an easy to use application adding a nice
interface around the tcllib package handling doctools formatted
texts. It makes it easy to process a large set of manpages in one go,
customizing the output, and more.
Note that the 'doctools' in the name of the application refers to
- a tcl-based format for writing manpages
- a module in the Tcllib package of the same name
- a package in the module above to handle text written in the format.
Dependencies
------------
The code is setup to use the 'starkit' package (*) to allow for easy
deployment as *kit/pack. This means that the dtp depends on Tcl 8.4
and C code (starkit, tclvfs, metakit).
For proper operation we need the textutil and doctools modules of
tcllib.
Command line, help
------------------
dtp help
Simple help about the help sytem
dtp help cmdline <format>
dtp commandline help in a supported format, written to stdout.
/Internal/ The generic framework asks each application
package for a fragment of .man, assembles this into
one page and converts that. Tries to cache the result
(no caching if starkit is not writeable).
