Converting HTML to text, preserving tables etc.

[Philip Sharman <psharman -at- verity -dot- com>]

Is there an easy way to convert HTML to text that preserves formatting in 
things like tables?

I can find utilities that just strip out the tags, but I need to keep my 
tables looking like tables, with all the columns aligned. I've tried 
viewing the HTML in Lynx, but it doesn't seem to handle tables well.

(Actually, the source document is in FrameMaker, which we convert to HTML 
via WebWorks, so if there's a way to convert from FrameMaker to text, and 
still get the tables looking correct, that would be even better.)

	Thanks in advance,
	   Philip.

P.S.
	This is for a Windows 2000 platform. But a UNIX or Mac solution would be 
useful too.
