Hi.

Instead of using curl or wget, you might consider using lynx, it removes the tags:
Quote:
-dump dumps the formatted output of the default document or one
specified on the command line to standard output. This can be
used in the following way:

lynx -dump Lynx links

-- excerpt from man lynx
or the html2text utility at html2text | mbayer.de

Best wishes ... cheers, drl
