Package: html2text
Version: 1.3.2a-3
Severity: normal

A line from the 'bash' manual:

        % man bash | egrep -n '\-z.*string'
        2025:       -z string

Accurately converted to HTML, then to text, using 'lynx':

    % man2html /usr/share/man/man1/bash.1.gz | lynx -stdin -dump -nolist 
-dont_wrap_pre | egrep -n '\-z.*string'
    2103:   -z string

But 'html2text' deletes a necessary space:

    % man2html /usr/share/man/man1/bash.1.gz | html2text  -ascii -nobs | egrep 
-n '\-z.*string'
    1700:  -zstring

Of course 'bash' has no "-zstring" option.

Hope this helps...
