Yes, it's OpenSP option !
Also, I had to install docbook2man-sgmlspl, since it was removed from
docbook2X and distributed independently. To built man pages I had to
export D2MDIR=/usr/bin

On slackware box the best way is to install slackware's sgml-tools package
and then follow documentation guide.

btw, is there template for manual, so I could write separate chapter not
bothering with the whole manual ?
