GENERATING THE MAN PAGE: If you have asciidoctor installed, you can generate the manpage one of two ways. The first way: asciidoctor -b manpage kant.1.adoc -o- | groff -Tascii -man | gz -c > kant.1.gz This will generate a fixed-width man page. The second way (recommended): asciidoctor -b manpage kant.1.adoc -o- | gz -c > kant.1.gz This will generate a dynamic-width man page. Most modern versions of man want this version.
