 The !ManpageRender allows for users to view manual pages (e.g of VIC and
 RAT) from within Trac as HTML. The native man page format didn't make for
 easy reading - thus the automatic render was created.

 Specifically the !ManpageRender implements the
 [http://trac.edgewall.org/browser/trunk/trac/mimeview/api.py?rev=5889#
 IHTMLPreviewRenderer] python class which converts the native nroff based
 man page format into HTML using the GNU
 [http://www.gnu.org/software/groff/ groff] program.

 This allows the native man pages to be maintained in the Subversion
 repository, whilst giving
 general users the ability to easily view the manual pages.
