When needed, I convert them to PDF with the help of Ghostscript, keeping all the nice formatting, with a small script I named "man2pdf":

man -t $1 | ps2pdf -dPDFSETTINGS=/printer -r300  - > $1.pdf

The single parameter is the name of the man page.

There's also "man2html":

man2html - format a manual page in html
https://linux.die.net/man/1/man2html
