[...etc...]

I was referring to rdoc, not rd. It's nice to see that rd can do
this, though.

But to use the same exasperating technique of quoting a command as if
it were self-explanatory:

senator% rd2 -rrd/rd2man-lib hashlike.rd  | nroff -man | less
ksh: rd2: not found

:)

Care to venture a guess as to how many Ruby modules use RD, vs. those
that use rdoc, an ordinary README, or nothing at all? My point is that
the more spread out ruby is with regard to doc formats, the less
useful tools like RD and rdoc are.
