mancia – scdoc to man page and reStructuredText converter¶

Mancia (Italian for “tip”) is a command-line utility for converting the scdoc format to man(7) roff and reStructuredText (rst).

For more information about the scdoc format, see scdoc(5) and mancia(5).

It can be utilized as Nim library and may be used to convert scdoc input into other formats as well, such as HTML or Markdown, if an appropriate handler is implemented (the parser does not care about the output, it just reports events to a handler).

An additional Python package provides functionality for using mancia as Python library and within Sphinx.
