 4 Browsing Man Pages
 ********************
 
 Once a man page has been found and formatted, WoMan provides a browsing
 interface that is essentially the same as that provided by the standard
 Emacs ‘man’ command (and much of the code is inherited from the ‘man’
 library, which WoMan currently requires).  Many WoMan facilities can be
 accessed from the WoMan major mode menu as well as via key bindings,
 etc.
 
 WoMan does not produce any page breaks or page numbers, and in fact does
 not paginate the man page at all, since this is not appropriate for
 continuous online browsing.  It produces a document header line that is
 constructed from the standard man page header and footer.  Apart from
 that, the appearance of the formatted man page should be almost
 identical to what would be produced by ‘man’, with consecutive blank
 lines squeezed to a single blank line.
