I have a document which contains LaTeX formatting codes that I would like
to convert into a simple ASCII file, following the intended formatting as
far as possible.  What would be even better would be a conversion from
LaTeX to man page format, since the document in question is the manual
for the mg text editor.  We need to have on-line documentation, so no
hard copy is needed, or even useful.  Any pointers?
