Much as I enjoy reading the ref man in html or pdf, there are times when i miss the ability to edit, change, rearrange, summarise, and otherwise pervert the original.
Is there a version of the manual in text format? Or is there are way to convert it to text? So far my best (but very slow) attempts have been to use cut/paste from the html, or use an installed pdf_to_word utility, or an online facility to achieve the same thing. (Usually the upload fails or, when conversion occurs, the result takes ages to clean up.)
Ah for the old days, of refman.txt...
