Well no, it doesn't exclude most software documentation because for
whatever reason the HTML in much of that has remained relatively
sane. Some CSS is creeping in, but a tool that ignores it still
produces clear text with some formatting. So far I've tested it
with two documentation pages published in 2023 and it's understood
the HTML fine (except for that out-of-page link problem in the RPi
doc). Plus often I'm looking at docs published 10-20 years ago
anyway.
