;;; man-addons.el - some helpful additions for browsing man pages.
;;;
;;; Copyright (c) 1998-2001 Karl M. Hegbloom <karlheg@hegbloom.net>
;;; Released under the terms of the GPL version >= 2.0

;;; See: /usr/share/common-licences/GPL-2
;;;
;;; The usual instructions apply...  Place this file in a directory on
;;; your `load-path' and then add (require 'man-addons) to your
;;; `user-init-file'.
;;;
;;; This is tested in XEmacs 21 with both the native XEmacs man.el and
;;; one I ported from GNU Emacs.  I hope it works equally well for GNU
;;; Emacs users.
;;;
;;; After loading this file, when you have man page source files
;;; visible from a `dired' buffer, you can push `l' when the cursor is
;;; over them, and preview the page in man mode.  I find this very
;;; helpful while editting manual pages!
