DECs Runoff is a markup language that sort of looks like an early HTML, so I suppose I could try a grep conversion to HTML, or just strip out the markup.
A much closer relative is Unix “troff” format, which apparently goes back to something in Multics called “runoff”. Fancy that. So you might dig up a troff manual (here’s one: http://www.troff.org/54.pdf) and convert to that. It looks like that wouldn’t be hard.
runoff is pretty simple, so a converter shouldn't be hard to do. You might look for Unix roff, which begat nroff/troff.
