Hey, this is great! I've got a few ideas for improvements:

1. Fix the layout. At least in Safari, you can only see the beginning and ends of the colored lines.

2. Pipe support (as mentioned by Ecio78)

3. Additional Unix flavors. Red Hat and Mac OS X would probably be the top suggestions.



I don't have a Mac but I hope once the code is open someone will jump on it.

Re other flavors: do you know if there are easy ways to get a dump of all man pages, similar to Ubuntu's man page archive?


It would probably be easiest to extract them directly by running the OS in a VM. But I suppose crawling them is your next best option.

Fedora: http://linuxmanpages.net/manpages/

OS X: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin...
