+# htmlman
+
+static site generator for man pages intended for
+rendering man page documentation viewable using
+a web browser.
+
+## usage
+
+If you have a nix expression, `doc.nix`, like this:
+
+```nix
+{ depot, ... }:
+
+depot.users.sterni.htmlman {
+  title = "foo project";
+  pages = [
+    {
+      name = "foo";
+      section = 1;
+    }
+    {
+      name = "foo";
+      section = 3;
+      path = ../devman/foo.3;
+    }
+  ];
+  manDir = ../man;
+}
+```
+
+You can run the following to directly deploy the resulting
+documentation output to a specific target directory:
+
+```sh
+nix-build -A deploy doc.nix && ./result target_directory
+```
