NAME
       mkhtmlindex - generate index files for HTML man pages

SYNOPSIS
       mkhtmlindex htmlmandir

DESCRIPTION
       The mkhtmlindex program generates index files for a directory of HTML-
       formatted manual pages.	It searches for files whose names are of  the
       form  "name.1.html", and outputs index files "manindex1.html", "manin-
       dex.2.html", and so on, one for each manual volume.  Empty index files
       will  be	 removed.   Names  and descriptions are found by scanning the
       first 
 section of each page.

OPTIONS
       mkhtmlindex takes only one argument: the directory to process.

NOTES
       This utility is currently rather specific to X manual pages.  In	 par-
       ticular, the format of the index files it outputs is not configurable,
       nor is the HTML formatting it expects of manual pages.
