I just deleted the word "experimental" from https://mandoc.bsd.lv/. I considered adding a less dire warning like "under development" because people might be disappointed that results will not yet be ideal for all DocBookk input pages. Then again, the docbook2mdoc entry on https://mandoc.bsd.lv/ is already the longest, https://mandoc.bsd.lv/docbook2mdoc/ already describes the details of the status, and saying more on https://mandoc.bsd.lv/ would be likely to ultimately end up outdated again. So i decided against any qualification. Yours, Ingo -- To unsubscribe send an email to tech+unsubscribe@mandoc.bsd.lv
