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.
