We did little to troff. The macros got a little work but nothing serious.
Other than supporting UTF-8, it's pretty much the way it was a long
long time ago, at least in terms of functionality.
Ms2html can't be hard to port, but whether it produces 'decent' html
is a judgment you'll have to make yourself.

I posted to this list a while ago about a unix port of plan9's ms2html
program, someone suggested simply using groff -Thtml, but I have found
this to be mostly inadequate -- it doesn't correctly render tbl or
pic objects. I'm guessing that troff was overhauled for plan9, since
there are some new macros (.P1, .P2) however, can any one suggest a
unix method for generating decent html from troff (ms) ?
thanks,
Russell.
