There are programs that do all of the above.  However as someone mentioned
I hope we are not getting crossed here - these are UNIX utilities.  We
just decided to use the same format for our documentation, we don't use
the UNIX programs to view or generate our documentation.  All our
documentation is on the web - but follows the same layout as a UNIX man
page.

It would be cool to use the UNIX utilities for documentation, though.
Even though very few of our users use UNIX workstations there is a very
nice utility called man2html which converts man pages to html on the fly.
A nice list of all the avaliable man pages is kept up-to-date and easily
viewable in a web browser.  Something to think about...
