html to text

[Charles Hallenbeck]

Lynx does a great job. If you open a file with lynx you can then select
"p" and save it to a disk file as plain text. The links imbedded in the
document are gathered together at the end of the file in a section called
"references" with numbers corresponding to the bracketed numbers in the
body of the document where they first appear.

Also, the suggestion to use the --dump switch does the same thing
silently. Just be sure to redirect the output from lynx to your output
file.
