I'm not sure that the man pages should be the same as the online help. Man pages are typically structured as reference manuals in a single document; help is often done as multiple pages for specific topics.


Do you mean just a different structure of the text (e.g. split the manpages into several seperate pages), or really have different contents for man and help?
