I think Eric pointed this out earlier, but anyway, you can get flat text just by piping HTML output through "lynx -dump" (or -dump through elinks or w3m). And that preserves any table layout (I think lynx handles tables now -- if not, elinks and w3m do) and URLs for hyperlinks.gg --Mike -- Michael(tm) Smith http://www.w3.org/People/Smith/ _______________________________________________ Groff mailing list Groff@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/groff
