Code:
sed -n '/^$/!{s/<[^>]*>//g;p;}' filename

Or, with a bit different output:

Code:
lynx --dump filename

(the file must have htm[l] extension)

Or use html2text Smilie

HTML::Clean(3)						User Contributed Perl Documentation					    HTML::Clean(3)

NAME
HTML::Clean - Cleans up HTML code for web browsers, not humans SYNOPSIS
use HTML::Clean; $h = new HTML::Clean($filename); # or.. $h = new HTML::Clean($htmlcode); $h->compat(); $h->strip(); $data = $h->data(); print $$data; DESCRIPTION
The HTML::Clean module encapsulates a number of common techniques for minimizing the size of HTML files. You can typically save between 10% and 50% of the size of a HTML file using these methods. It provides the following features: Remove unneeded whitespace (begining of line, etc) Remove unneeded META elements. Remove HTML comments (except for styles, javascript and SSI) Replace tags with equivilant shorter tags (<strong> --> <b>) etc. The entire proces is configurable, so you can pick and choose what you want to clean. THE HTML
::Clean CLASS $h = new HTML::Clean($dataorfile, [$level]); This creates a new HTML::Clean object. A Prerequisite for all other functions in this module. The $dataorfile parameter supplies the input HTML, either a filename, or a reference to a scalar value holding the HTML, for example: $h = new HTML::Clean("/htdocs/index.html"); $html = "<strong>Hello!</strong>"; $h = new HTML::Clean($html); An optional 'level' parameter controls the level of optimization performed. Levels range from 1 to 9. Level 1 includes only simple fast optimizations. Level 9 includes all optimizations. $h->initialize($dataorfile) This function allows you to reinitialize the HTML data used by the current object. This is useful if you are processing many files. $dataorfile has the same usage as the new method. Return 0 for an error, 1 for success. $h->level([$level]) Get/set the optimization level. $level is a number from 1 to 9. $myref = $h->data() Returns the current HTML data as a scalar reference. strip(\%options); Removes excess space from HTML You can control the optimizations used by specifying them in the %options hash reference. The following options are recognized: boolean values (0 or 1 values) whitespace Remove excess whitespace shortertags <strong> -> <b>, etc.. blink No blink tags. contenttype Remove default contenttype. comments Remove excess comments. entities &quot; -> ", etc. dequote remove quotes from tag parameters where possible. defcolor recode colors in shorter form. (#ffffff -> white, etc.) javascript remove excess spaces and newlines in javascript code. htmldefaults remove default values for some html tags lowercasetags translate all HTML tags to lowercase parameterized values meta Takes a space separated list of meta tags to remove, default "GENERATOR FORMATTER" emptytags Takes a space separated list of tags to remove when there is no content between the start and end tag, like this: <b></b>. The default is 'b i font center' compat() This function improves the cross-platform compatibility of your HTML. Currently checks for the following problems: Insuring all IMG tags have ALT elements. Use of Arial, Futura, or Verdana as a font face. Positioning the <TITLE> tag immediately after the <head> tag. defrontpage(); This function converts pages created with Microsoft Frontpage to something a Unix server will understand a bit better. This function currently does the following: Converts Frontpage 'hit counters' into a unix specific format. Removes some frontpage specific html comments SEE ALSO
