RE: ASCII Text output using Jade

["Reynolds, Gregg" <greynolds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It doesn't have a backend to map flow objects to plain text; but you can
do your own formatting and dump plain text.  Its been a while but if
memory serves all you need do is direct your flow objects into a (make
element...) but omit the gi: characteristic.  Use "data" to get at the
content of nodes if you need to manipulate it
