latex2man – Translate LaTeX-based manual pages into Unix man format
Latex2man is a tool to translate UNIX manual pages written with LaTeX into the troff format understood by the UNIX man(1) command. Alternatively HTML, Texinfo, or LaTeX code can be produced too. Output of parts of the text may be suppressed using the conditional text feature (for this, LaTeX generation may be used).
There is a LaTeX package (latex2man.sty) for writing the man page and a Perl script (latex2man) that does the actual translation.
