Hi,
OpenBSD is working on replacing the (heavily patched) apache 1.3 in
base with nginx. During that work the question was raised if we can
have a nginx.conf(5) man page.
As a proof of concept I put a perl script together which scrapes the
pages on http://nginx.org/en/docs/ (below "Modules reference") and
generates a mdoc(7) file.
* what's the license of the documentation?
* is the documentation on http://nginx.org/en/docs/ generated from some
  sort of source file? Parsing the html works reasonably well but is not
  optimal.
* would there be interest to include a man page into the distribution
  once it's ready?
Thanks,
Florian
