html2text is a Python script that converts a page of HTML into clean, easy-to-read plain ASCII text. Better yet, that ASCII also happens to be valid Markdown (a text-to-HTML format).
Usage: html2text.py [(filename|url) [encoding]]

import html2text print html2text.html2text("<p>Hello, world.</p>") Or with some configuration options:
import html2text h = html2text.HTML2Text() h.ignore_links = True print h.handle("<p>Hello, <a href='http://earth.google.com/'>world</a>!") Originally written by Aaron Swartz. This code is distributed under the GPLv3.
