Then the semantic markup would all be in one place -- in the source

Can't we just use ANSI colour sequences? We can use TheDraw in dosbox to
create pages, it's a fin

I've just tried this after ^Z'ing in the installer:

http://mdocml.bsd.lv/docbook2mdoc/
which is a DocBook-XML to mdoc(7) converter, and that Eric S. Raymond's
