For installation you copy the complete dgw folder into a path of your auto_path list of Tcl or you append the auto_path list with the parent dir of the dgw directory.
The script contains embedded the documentation in Markdown format. To extract the documentation you should use the following command line:
$ tclsh dgw.tcl --markdown
This will extract the embedded manual pages in standard Markdown format. You can as well use this markdown output directly to create html pages for the documentation by using the --html flag.
$ tclsh dgw.tcl --html
This will directly create a HTML page dgw.html which contains the formatted documentation.
Github-Markdown can be extracted by using the --man switch:
$ tclsh dgw.tcl --man
The output of this command can be used to feed a markdown processor for conversion into a html or pdf document. If you have pandoc installed for instance, you could execute the following commands:
tclsh ../dgw.tcl --man > dgw.md
pandoc -i dgw.md -s -o dgw.html
pandoc -i dgw.md -s -o dgw.tex
pdflatex dgw.tex
