Is this a bug?  Or a "feature?"

Just wondering.   I'm rather new to this, so if there is a way to do an option
switch that will keep the words that got blanked out, I'd love to know. 
Thanks!

Code to convert: 
$htmldata = HTML::Parse::parse_html($rawdata);
$formatter = new HTML::FormatText;
$textdata = $formatter->format($htmldata);

Original HTML:
<font size="2">Thu 03Jul97 05:30:30</font><br>
<b><font color="darkred">Torched</font> to <font
color="black">Bartender</font></b><br>
<dl><dd>
you there?<br>


Output String:
    Thu 03Jul97 05:30:30
    to     

           you there?
