Indeed, you can save a Maker document as text, and you get an option to
preserve table formatting. At least in 6.0 and 5.5.6. So you shouldn't
try to save the HTML as text, you should save the Maker docs as text.
BTW, not only do you lose formatting like BOLD, etc., you also lose your
graphics and equations. But I assume you already knew that. (There are
utilities out there that can convert graphics into ASCII art - probably
not useful in this context.)
