Eric S. Raymond has released doclifter 2.1, an open source tool that transcodes {n,t,g}roff documentation to DocBook. It also translates man, mandoc, ms, me, and TkMan source documents. Raymond claims the "result is usable without further hand-hacking about 95% of the time." This release fixes bugs. Doclifter is written in Python, and requires Python 2.2a1. doclifter is published under the GPL.
