Comment 1 Anne-Marie Mahfouf 2011-05-20 12:55:37 UTC 
Works here, see attached screenshot. When I click on the file in Ark I get a man preview.

How do you "2. Tell Ark to preview man.1" exactly?

Action: Preview
Comment 4 Anne-Marie Mahfouf 2011-05-20 13:37:18 UTC 
I click in Ark on the file, is it what you also do?
Is the behavior I show on the screenshot the one you expect?

If so, please try with a new user, thanks.

Ark preview showing HTML source in KManPart

I had to select text because the it displays black on dark
Comment 6 Anne-Marie Mahfouf 2011-05-20 13:43:33 UTC 
Please try a new user to check if it is a configuration problem which I suspect.
Comment 7 Christopher Yeleighton 2011-05-20 14:36:36 UTC 
Ark displays HTML source for the new user too.
Comment 8 Anne-Marie Mahfouf 2011-05-20 15:12:56 UTC 
This is quite strange. What distribution are you using and what KDE version so I can inquire around to people with the setup as yours?
Comment 9 Pino Toscano 2011-06-05 17:56:46 UTC 
Confirmed (no need to use ark for that, just browse a directory with man pages in konqueror, right click on one and select the preview in kmanpart option).

same problem here:

archlinux-64 with kde-4.6.3
Comment 11 Dawit Alemayehu 2011-08-10 22:30:21 UTC 
This needs to be reported against kmanpart or whatever module that application belongs to. The bug has nothing to do with the man kioslave.

Oops. I stand corrected. I guess kmanpart is part of the man kioslave. Ignore my comments.

I can not reproduce this with KDE 4.9.0
I assume this was fixed by

    Fix kmanpart so that KHTML actually parses the output as HTML rather than as plain text.
