Writing sources
A source takes three parameters:
- Manual section
- Manual page name
- Output selector:
attribfor attribution,urlfor URL to page.
See Template:Man/die.net for an example.
Internals
Template:man handles choosing the default source and calling it for URL and attribution; the default source is Template:man/default, which is a template redirect currently to Template:man/die.net. Template:man/format actually formats the link and descriptions into a nice-looking link+auxilia in Unix style.
