+Halibut is a documentation production system, with elements similar to
+TeX, debiandoc-sgml, TeXinfo, and others. It is primarily targeted at
+people producing software manuals.
+
+Supported output formats are:
+- Plain ASCII text
+- HTML
+- PDF
+- PostScript
+- Unix man pages
+- Unix info, generated directly as .info files rather than .texi sources
+- Windows HTML Help (.CHM files), generated directly without needing a
+ separate help compiler.
+- Windows WinHelp (old-style .HLP files), also generated directly.
