Go to the Daily Tip under Help Me

The one I read about:

> CONVERT MAN PAGES TO TEXT 
> 
> 
> There can often be times when you 
> want man pages in print, or to 
> simply save them to text for 
> something like HTML use. The 
> common thing that people do is: 
> 
> man lp > lp.txt 
> 
> This will take the output of lp 
> and put it to a file named lp.txt, 
> but it will keep all the formatting 
> in the document. In order to get rid 
> of those characters, do the 
> following: 
> 
> man lp | col -b > lp.txt 
> 
> Create the text file both ways 
> naming one of them "lp2.txt" and 
> do a "diff" on them. You'll see the 
> difference then. 

Enjoy, I got some good info.  Shows how the tools of Linux can be
