New in doclifter 2.4 (Jul 22, 2010)
- eqn markup is now handled if the eqn -TMathml switch produces results. Bell Labs or Berkeley meaning of .P1 is dispatched to depending on whether .P2 is present. Added -w option for strict portability checking. Fedora bug 220736 fixed. All troff glyphs are now mapped (added bracket-pile characters, yogh, hooked-o, and underdot). You are now warned of sequences that look like glyphs but can't be mapped. Table handling for mdoc pages has been much improved. Tests for requests that can't be turned into structure are stricter. Appropriate cases of \o are now translated into Latin-1 and Latin-2 letters with accents. Inline ad-hoc tables made with .ta and literal tabs are now lifted. Groff extended escapes $* and $@ are now handled. Speed optimizations so it's about 30% faster, and a profiling switch on manlifter. Rudimentary DocBook V5 translation, but inclusions and character entities are iffy and untested. Lifts 94% of 11863 pages in a full Ubuntu Lucid Lynx install.
