# The textproc/doclifter port

## doclifter-2.15 – troff to DocBook converter

## Description

    The doclifter program translates documents written in troff macros to
    DocBook.

    Lifting documents from presentation level to semantic level is hard, and
    a really good job requires human polishing. This tool aims to do
    everything that can be mechanized, and to preserve any troff-level
    information that might have structural implications in XML comments.

    This tool does the hard parts. TBL tables are translated into DocBook
    table markup, PIC into SVG, and EQN into MathML (relying on pic2svg and
    GNU eqn for the last two).
