Public bug reported:
According to http://sphinx.pocoo.org/builders.html#builders, sphinx-build from
the python-sphinx package is able to generate man pages (nroff) as an output
type. However,
___________________
$ sphinx-build -b man -d _build/doctrees . _build/man
Running Sphinx v0.6.6
Sphinx error:
Builder name man not registered
$ sphinx-build -b manpage -d _build/doctrees . _build/man
Running Sphinx v0.6.6
Sphinx error:
Builder name manpage not registered
___________________
A note under "class sphinx.builders.manpage.ManualPageBuilder" on the
page above states,
"This builder requires the docutils manual page writer, which is only
available as of docutils 0.6."
I have python-docutils 0.6-5 installed:
$ dpkg -L python-docutils | grep man
:
:
/usr/share/pyshared/docutils/writers/manpage.py
Although a "writer" is included, there is no "builder" entry for
"manpage". Is this a bug?
