http://www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/~net/unroff/ Unroff is a Scheme-based, programmable, extensible troff translator with a back-end for the Hypertext Markup Language. Unroff is free software and is distributed both as source and as precompiled binaries. [...] In contrast to conventional troff ``converters'' (usually Perl scripts some of which process nroff output) unroff includes a full troff parser and closely mimics the troff processing engine. This enables unroff to handle user-defined macros, strings, and number registers, nested if-else requests, arbitrary fonts and font positions, low-level formatting requests such as \l, \c, and \h, and idiosyncrasies such as troff copy mode and the subtle differences between request and macro invocations. Unroff has adopted a number of groff extensions, among them long names for macros, strings, number registers, and special characters, and the escape sequences \$@ and \$*.help
