Description
Because tar does not include a man page, and many people don't like using info, you can create very good HTML docs for tar. It might be a good thing to include it as an optional command in the Tar instructions:
make -C doc install-html docdir=/usr/share/doc/tar-1.23

The tar mailing list mentioned something about using help2man to add a man page to the next release. I think that release will be soon due to bugs in 1.24.

The man page didn't make it into the 1.25 release. We may as well add the HTML docs anyway.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
I haven't tried it, but I wonder if info2man would work. Of course that is not in LFS.
