From 73562d46c511e8a187129036b732c98de13f2eb6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yorhel Date: Wed, 18 Jan 2012 11:34:46 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] doc: Use POD as source format and pod2man to generate ncdu.1 POD is somewhat more simple and flexible. I now use ncdu.pod to generate a nicely formatted manual page on the ncdu homepage, rather than displaying a rendering of ncdu.1 formatted in a monospace font. The tarball will still contain an ncdu.1, so there's no extra dependency on pod2man.
