This is not necessary, man-db can automatically convert your man pages into HTML...

Basic Ubuntu 24.04 install:

    man --html man

    man: can't resolve man7/groff_man.7
    man: command exited with status 3: (cd /tmp/hman6rTowJ && /usr/libexec/man-db/zsoelim) | (cd /tmp/hman6rTowJ && /usr/libexec/man-db/manconv -f UTF-8:ISO-8859-1 -t UTF-8//IGNORE) | (cd /tmp/hman6rTowJ && preconv -e UTF-8) | (cd /tmp/hman6rTowJ && tbl) | (cd /tmp/hman6rTowJ && groff -mandoc -Thtml)

The error seems to be about the groff manpage that I didn't even ask for? Very confusing.
