Marked-man is a valuable tool for developers seeking to automatically generate man pages from Markdown, drawing inspiration from the 'ronn' utility. Both versions 1.3.0 and 1.2.5 share the same core functionality: providing a wrapper that leverages the popular 'marked' library for Markdown parsing to produce man page output. This allows developers to write documentation in the easily readable and maintainable Markdown format and then seamlessly convert it into the standard Unix man page format.
Examining the differences between version 1.3.0 and 1.2.5, one notable change is the unpacked size of the package, which increased subtly from 12552 bytes to 12703 bytes. This suggests slight modifications or additions were made to the codebase. While the dependencies ('marked' and 'read-pkg-up') and devDependencies ('@kapouer/eslint-config') remain consistent, the release date signifies a more recent update in version 1.3.0, published on November 28, 2022, compared to version 1.2.5, released on November 7, 2022. The newer version likely includes bug fixes, performance improvements, or minor feature enhancements that weren't present in the earlier release. Developers should opt for the latest version (1.3.0) to benefit the most stable and updated features. This seamless conversion process makes marked-man an attractive alternative to manually writing and maintaining man pages directly.
