Usually, such HTML manuals have themselves been generated from some other
source form, and the system that does this can also generate other forms,
such as plain text, PDF, RTF, etc. Perl's "POD" (plain old documentation)
is an example of one such system, and there are many others.

I take it that you don't have access to the original source form of this
documentation, assuming there ever was one.

I think that the reason that you're having difficulty is that your problem
is the reverse from what most other people face.
