Hi,
Actually I would prefer to modify ARGS of w3m as is suggested in
man pages and as is done in xmlto docbook txt formatter.
(done in attached patch - I'll commit that one to Fedora)
About Eric Bischoffs current address - after a bit of google
searching, it seems that now he is using ebischoff@nerim.net
- but nothing guaranteed.
Greetings,
Ondrej Vasik
