Coding for MAN and PMAN markup

Should be 3.

No, wrong page.

No, wrong page.

Not quite making sense to me here... what's the diff beyond what I pointed out?

Feedback (about the Forums)

The currently observable issue with coding for MAN and PMAN markup seems to be:

• it does not work where the section is effectively n.

The usable link for zlib(n) on page 1 was the result of me working around the issue: a normal link, instead of PMAN.

So, if I get you correctly, I linked to the Erlang module, while grahamperrin linked to the TCL command. And yet, both versions seem to be called up with the exact same man zlib (or man 3 zlib) command.

The usable link above (quoted) was the result of me working around the issue: a normal link, instead of PMAN.

PMAN is making even less sense to me at this point. If I want to quote programming language documentation (as opposed to manpages for userland utilities in the base FreeBSD install), I would just avoid using the [MAN][/MAN] markup altogether.

www URLs are outdated. Instead:

new homepage for manual pages · freebsd/freebsd-doc@8b11c6d

The manual pages homepages is now man.freebsd.org instead www.freebsd.org

github.com

SirDice or danger@ something for either of you, maybe?

Thanks

Looks like the 'old' URL is redirected on the site for now, so nothing is currently broken. I've changed the URL from www.freebsd.org to man.freebsd.org in case that redirection is removed in the future.
