Explicitly document that batman relies on man-db #93

It does not seem to work with other man implementations (e.g.: mandoc).

eth-p commented 1 year ago

What distro are you using? It runs on MacOS, which uses mandoc under the hood. If possible, I'd like to properly support mandoc.

I originally had this issue on Arch, but it also reproduces on Alpine.

eth-p commented 7 months ago

If it's not too much trouble, can you try using batman from the master branch on Arch and Alpine? I recently updated it to remove a dependency on the col program, which was causing some issues on both distros.
