The docbook2mdoc utility is a converter from DocBook into mdoc. Unlike most DocBook utilities, it's a standalone ISC-licensed ISO C utility that should compile on any modern UNIX system. The only requirement is libexpat (for parsing XML), which is installed by default on most systems.

docbook2mdoc is very experimental: it probably won't work with your manual without improvement. However, it does work with the DocBook reference manuals (minimally rendered here with mandoc -Thtml): printf, ls, as, iovec.

Contact Kristaps with questions, but please make sure any formatting issue hasn't already been covered in the manual.
