After man, pipe the output to col -b (Reverse line feed filter), then pipe the output to a text file.

Subject: how to get text only man pages?
What would be a quick way to get text only man pages?
The man command formats output by including extra characters to specify
bold, font color, etc. If I pipe the output to a text file, I end up with
undisplayable and unprintable characters throughout the document. Is there
a way to tell man not to do this or at least filter the unprintable or
undisplayable characters?
Thanks =)
