nroff_man

nroff -man; man without nroff.

This is a manual page viewer. It was written as a replacement for GNO/ME's nroff-based man page viewer, but should work elsewhere (developed with clang on OS X and gcc on Windows/MSYS2).

The goal is to support the man macros (.TH, .SH, ...) directly, as well as a reasonable enough subset of troff commands and escape codes. Other goals:

fast
small stack usage
bug free
pretty output

Ideally, man pages will be written in mandoc, converted to man via the mandoc utility, then displayed with nroff_man.
