Converting HTML to plain text

I am looking around for any tools to convert html to plain text in a platform independent way. I also need support for UTF-8 encoding as well as a well formatted output of nested tables. What is the best way to do this ? Is XSL FO recommended for this ? I looked around for any XSL to convert HTML to FO, but I did not find any. 
 
The html to text tools I found on web are mostly windows based. The remaining are not very good at converting nested tables in HTML to a properly rendered plain text format. 

I appreciate any help
