converting man to text

This will give the text output for 'wc' man page
 
$ man wc |col -b

this man page may not be that big, try 'bash'

$ man bash|col -b

redirect it to a file, dont ask me how.. this is quite helpful, when you open the text page in you favourite editor and search and read the options on 'bash'

its quite big and does lots of things you tried using other commands.
