(for Unix/Linux)

The <manpageview.vim> script allows vim to be used as a
manpage viewer while one is inside vim.  Coupled with the
tip "Using vim as a man-page viewer under Unix", available
by clicking on vimtip#167 gives a complete manpage viewing
solution using vim!

The Man command will accept four formats for looking up
a man page:

    :Man topic
    :Man topic booknumber
    :Man booknumber topic
    :Man topic(booknumber)

In addition, while in normal mode and with the cursor on
some topic (system function) that you want to look up,
press the "K" key to invoke the manpage viewer.

The tip vimtip#167 addresses setting up man so that it
invokes vim from the command line.

Thank you for rating this script!
