I installed the man2html package then navigated to http://localhost/cgi-bin/man/man2html to view the man pages. These pages can be viewed offline, link to other man pages and feature a search function.

To directly open a page (from command line)

I made this script here (it's not short), it just navigates directly to the webpage (from man2html) for a certain manpage. It can open multiple man pages specified as command line arguments. Save the script somewhere and give it execute permissions (chmod +x script.sh). Run it as ~/script.sh (assuming saved in ~ directory) with pages to open as arguments. To open something like init(8), use ~/script "8 init".

dwww

To search man pages

Install the dwww paackage and navigate to http://localhost/dwww/man/1 to search the pages. These pages can be viewed offline, link to other man pages and feature a search function.

To directly open a page (from command line)

I made this script here (it's not short), it just navigates directly to the webpage (from dwww) for a certain manpage. It can open multiple man pages specified as command line arguments. Save the script somewhere and give it execute permissions (chmod +x script.sh). Run it as ~/script.sh page (assuming saved in ~ directory) with pages to open as arguments. To open something like init(8), use ~/script init/8. Without pcregrep, you need to type the /8 all the time, with it, just type the name of the page.
