== Criticism == Ingo Schwarze, the author of [[OpenBSD]]'s [[mandoc]], considers DocBook inferior to the semantic ''mdoc'' macro for [[man pages]]. In an attempt to write a DocBook-to-mdoc converter (previous converters like docbook-to-man do not cover semantic elements), he finds the semantic parts "bloated, redundant, and incomplete at the same time" compared to elements covered in mdoc. Moreover, Schwarze finds the DocBook specification not specific enough about the use of tags, the language non-portable across versions, rough in details and overall inconsistent.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Schwarze |first1=Igor |title=docbook2mdoc-1.0.0 released |url=https://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20190419101505 |website=OpenBSD Journal |date=April 19, 2019}}</ref>
