Editing Man page (section)

=== Alternatives ===
Few alternatives to <code>man</code> have enjoyed much popularity, with the possible exception of [[GNU Project|GNU Project's]] "<code>[[Texinfo|info]]</code>" system, an early and simple [[hypertext]] system.  There is also a third-party effort known as [[TLDR pages]] (<code>tldr</code>) that provides simple examples for common use cases, similar to a [[cheatsheet]].<ref>{{cite web |title=TLDR pages |url=https://tldr.sh/ |website=tldr.sh |access-date=2020-05-05 |archive-date=2020-04-27 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200427081953/https://tldr.sh/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

In addition, some Unix [[Graphical user interface|GUI]] applications (particularly those built using the [[GNOME]] and [[KDE]] development environments) now provide end-user documentation in [[HTML]] and include embedded HTML viewers such as <code>yelp</code> for reading the help within the application. An HTML system in [[Emacs]] is also slated to replace texinfo.<ref>{{cite mailing list |title=Re: [Groff] man pages (tangential to Future Redux) |last=Raymond |first=Eric S. |author-link=Eric S.
