We'd really like to move away the documents in NetBSD's base system from the groff -ms and -me macro sets to anything else that can be easily converted to txt, html, and pdf. We already have mandoc in the base system and it supports these output formats. So it seems to be a good candidate, and mdoc already provides the formatting options we need (AFAIK). We probably would just need to add a mode to mandoc where it doesn't insist on a man page header and instead supports some article information like a title. Would you be willing to add support for this in mandoc? Am I overlooking stuff that makes this more hard than I currently imagine it to be?
