Man command does not work with yelp

  • 772

When I was introduced with Ubuntu 8.04, the Yelp (Ubuntu documentation) was aware of man command: simply type man:<manpage> into the search string showed the desired man page in HTML look and feel. However, since release 13.04 this feature looks like has been removed.

missing feature

Here is the screenshot of Yelp from 10.04:

yelp 10.04

Does anyone know how to turn it back?

13.10
