## Tools
What is needed to convert troff documents from [[DocBook|DocBook]]:
* [[DocLifter|DocLifter]] ([[+patches|http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2008-June/035967.html]])
* Time
* Luck
## To Do
List the document that have yet to be converted here.
* [[XKB|XKB]] specs (xorg-docs/specs/XKB/Proto & xorg-docs/specs/XKB/XKBlib): these are in Frame``Maker format. [[AlanCoopersmith|AlanCoopersmith]] used Frame``Maker's Export options to produce several more convertible formats from them: XML (with unknown DTD), HTML & MIF - available at [[http://people.freedesktop.org/~alanc/xkb/|http://people.freedesktop.org/~alanc/xkb/]] - but someone needs to finish converting to DocBook/XML.
## Ongoing
There has been an interest in converting the parts of the Xorg documentation written in troff to [[DocBook|DocBook]] (or any other generic format). In order not to duplicate efforts, here is the list of what is being done and by whom.
* [[PeterHutterer|PeterHutterer]] has converted the XInput documentation to [[DocBook|DocBook]]
* [[FrancoisDenisGonthier|FrancoisDenisGonthier]] and [[MichaelVerret|MichaelVerret]] are trying to convert from XProtocol from troff to [[DocBook|DocBook]] using doclifter.
* [[GüntherBrammer|GüntherBrammer]] is converting documentation in the Xext directory.
