I'm doing essentially the same thing, but using w3m instead of lynx
because w3m also renders tables. It does indeed look great, much better
even than the plain text generated by Word itself. Specifically, my
word2text script contains:
wvHtml $1 2> ~/tmp/wvHtml.errors |
perl -0777 -p -e '
s|<img .*?>||gs; # Delete img tags.
' |
w3m -dump -T text/html |
perl -0777 -p -e 's/\n\s*\n/\n\n/gs' # Delete extra whitespace
# between lines.
