So why the post?

I discovered this way to view the file system folders in the browser informing those interested or curious to use this method. Other criticisms? I'm available.

And without accidentally doing any damage, too, as there's no way to edit any files from within a web browser.

That's pretty cool. Thanks for the tip, sg-1.

"Did you install groff?"
Do you mean as an alternative to reading man pages in Firefox? Groff is interesting, though in my case, examples on usage would be helpful. I cant get much from the man pages...OK I think I understand your question. Yes I did install Groff. After reading man man pages I see this:

Code: Select all

 -H[browser], --html[=browser]
              This  option  will cause groff to produce HTML output, and will display that output
              in a web browser.  The choice of browser is  determined  by  the  optional  browser
              argument if one is provided, by the $BROWSER environment variable, or by a compile-
              time default if that is unset (usually lynx).  This option  implies  -t,  and  will
              only work with GNU troff.
True freedom is never asking the question; Am I free?
