I had a quick look at ronn and it looks like a lost case. it seems to convert the markdown input to HTML first, and only then from HTML to roff, and the dependency on hpricot seems very entrenched. We currently have 24 packages build-depending on ruby-ronn: $ grep-dctrl -F Build-Depends -n -s Package ruby-ronn Sources | sort -u chake coquelicot cura-engine dbab foodcritic foremancli gazebo git-extras haproxyctl i3blocks ignition-math2 ignition-transport jq npm pgloader python-lua r10k rerun ruby-build ruby-coveralls seqprep shapelib slt vcsh -- Antonio Terceiro <terce...@debian.org>
