			<p>
				The <span class="nm">docbook2mdoc</span> utility is a converter from <a
					href="http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/">DocBook</a> into <a
					href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=mdoc&sektion=7">mdoc</a>.
				Unlike most DocBook utilities, it's a standalone <a rel="license"
					href="https://www.isc.org/downloads/software-support-policy/isc-license/">ISC</a>-licensed ISO C utility
				that should compile on any modern UNIX system.
				The only requirement is <a href="http://expat.sourceforge.net/">libexpat</a> (for parsing XML), which is
				installed by default on most systems.
			</p>
			<p>
				<span class="nm">docbook2mdoc</span> is <em>very</em> experimental: it probably won't work with your manual
				without improvement. 
				However, it does work with the DocBook reference manuals (minimally rendered here with <a
					href="http://mdocml.bsd.lv">mandoc</a> -Thtml): <a href="printf.html">printf</a>, <a
					href="ls.html">ls</a>, <a href="as.html">as</a>, <a href="iovec.html">iovec</a>.

				Accomodate for node attributes, for now limited to the <code>rep</code> and <code>choice</code> attributes for
				<code>&lt;arg&gt;</code>.
				Properly comma-separate names in the NAME section.
