Man Pages for your Browser

Thu Dec 9 2004 09:44 MST #

So this rocks, although I've just found it this morning. Bwana adds a man:// protocol to Safari - so now you can read man pages just like you read everything else - in the browser. This hint gives you a way to escape from the term -- run the script and the man opens in safari.

Since I actually do work this way most of the time this looks to be very handy. I already use Sogudi to add a CPAN search (http://search.cpan.org/search?query=@@@&mode=all) to Safari, I now have all my frequently used references in the browser. All is the way it should be.
