Eric S. Raymond has released version 1.4 of doclifter, an open source tool that transcodes {n,t,g}roff documentation to DocBook. He claims the "result is usable without further hand-hacking about 95% of the time." This release can handle .TQ reduction, translate attempts to fake double quotes in text with `` and '', and catches a few more .RS/.RE cases. Doclifter is written in Python, and requires Python 2.2a1. doclifter is published under the GPL.
