Re: Is there a navbar for the html manpages?

Thanks for the pointers. xman(1) has difficulty seeing the C.UTF-8
symbols, for example in the case of ld.so(1).  

Plan 9 OS sees C.UTF-8 symbols fine, a fancy NetBSD dom0 with Plan 9 OS
domU will see ld.so(1) properly in the manpage viewer native tool.

The site

 --> https://man.netbsd.org

has man-cgi wrappers which would be nice to have on the local file
system.
