Re: [Groff] groff html output, eqn and journals

You might try Eric's DocLifter for that.  Since it works on the
high-level side (this is, parsing the input file and not the
intermediate output) and can handle most of the standard macro
packages, chances are good that the HTML output is better than groff's
grohtml.

MathML support has been added to eqn in the CVS.  It looks very nice
and seems to be complete -- the necessary changes were suprisingly
small!  Eric noted that the MathML structure is almost identical to
the internal representation of formulae within eqn.  He thinks that
this is more than a coincidence...

Tests are highly welcome.
