@mckinley@twtxt.net I was personally considering writing man pages for HTML elements at some point. man pages are very cool!

What does creating man pages for HTML elements have to do with scraping web pages?! 😆

@adi@twtxt.net Wow, that’s a great idea. I wonder if MDN could be used as a data source. The Markdown would need some significant transformation done. https://github.com/mdn/content/blob/main/files/en-us/web/html/element/span/index.md

@mckinley@twtxt.net Haha I see hmmm 😆🤞

@prologic@twtxt.net I assumed he was scraping for offline viewing, in which case man pages solves more problems, but there’s some work in porting from HTML.

@mckinley@twtxt.net Ah, you have Markdown, I believe you could do a lot of the work with awk.

@adi@twtxt.net Yup I see your point now 😆 Quite clever use of man pages 👌 (not that I use them much if at all 🤦‍♂️)

@mckinley@twtxt.net Care to donate some 💰 💵 if I do the job? 😀

@prologic@twtxt.net They’re very fast as you have them in your terminal, you don’t have to fire up a browser, move the mouse, do any search, watch tabs… just something like man body.
