[wellylug] How to I strip HTML tags via the cmd line?

[Damon Lynch]

Thanks that's cool.  I did that and it worked just fine.

Actually I have wanted it to be able to take a large web page full of
text, stick it in OpenOffice, format it nicely, and produce a PDF for
offline reading and distribution.   OpenOffice doesn't open XHTML in the
same way it does HTML.

I'm sure there are many ways :-)

As a totally different option from what others have suggested, you could
look at

lynx -dump

It dumps the formatted output, which being lynx is text. It might add
bold and stuff though, I'm not sure.

It all depends of course on what you want it for.
