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.
