This is the thing I miss most about Konqueror: you could type a URI like
“man:mdoc” and it would format and display the page. Whatever they were
using for an algorithm, it worked better to display a manpage as HTML than
anything else available at the time.
When Apple first announced Safari, and its Webkit origins, I had high hopes
they would carry that feature over. No such luck.
