By platform independent, I mean some java API that I can call from my Java code. Sorry about not getting it clear earlier. w3m does a great job. It has command line -dump option. It is better than lynx for formatting tables. But it is C code and I cannot use it. -- Radha -----Original Message----- From: Wendell Piez [mailto:wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, June 23, 2004 8:23 AM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: [xsl] Converting HTML to plain text At 06:45 AM 6/23/2004, you wrote: >M$ IE 6.0 has a "Save As" feature which you can as text (.txt)... what does >Lynx do better? The Lynx idea is way cool, and I always liked Netscape's Save As .txt well enough (I should look and see how Moz is doing it), but the OP did say "platform independent". Much depends on what this means. Another question is how easily the resulting text format can be fine tuned (line ends, indents, inline markup, header formatting etc.) and whether such tuning is needed.
