At
       -a  <format>  Convert  from  the specified format. Formats may be 
specified by means of the following
       arbitrary single character codes, by means of names such as 
"SGML_decimal", and by  examples  of  the
       desired format.

say how to combine options: -a M -a N -a O, or -a MNO, or -aMNO, or
ascii2uni -a M|ascii2uni -a N|ascii2uni -a O

Do the same on the uni2ascii man page.


And the results of our research,

$ wwwoffle -o $@|ascii2uni -a QD > /dev/null
Format specification QD not recognized.
$ wwwoffle -o $@|ascii2uni -a Q -a D > /dev/null
130 tokens converted
$ wwwoffle -o $@|ascii2uni -a D -a Q > /dev/null
0 tokens converted
$ wwwoffle -o $@|ascii2uni -a D |ascii2uni -a Q > /dev/null
130 tokens converted
0 tokens converted
$ wwwoffle -o $@|ascii2uni -a Q |ascii2uni -a D > /dev/null
0 tokens converted
130 tokens converted

are that the only safe way is to use the pipes!

-a D -a Q not only only applies only one of the filters, it doesn't even
murmur that something the user didn't expect will happen. It should
poop out with an error and usage message.
