Oh I love this bit in [1]
I've yet to see a program that renders HTML (including all the cruft often used in docs, which might include SVG graphics and whatnot) sanely in ASCII. Lynx does not qualify, it's output is atrocious crap.
Yes, lynx lets you read HTML in ASCII, but at the cost of bleeding eyeballs and missing content.
Nothing beats a sane ASCII document with possibly, where really needed some ASCII art.
Sadly the whole kernel documentation project is moving away from that as well, which just means I'm back to working on an undocumented codebase. This rst crap they adopted is unreadable garbage.
