Usage

Overview

Parses text read from the standard input, or a file if a file name is supplied, and removes any HTML formatting it finds. Prints the resulting cleansed text to the standard output for easy redirection. The version included with this man page has been improved to handle comments and scripts.

Options

Version. unhtml will display its version and exit.

Examples

This example simply scans a file called "index.html" and prints the file to the standard output with the HTML formatting removed. The standard output is redirected to a file called "index.txt" which, after running, will contain the plain text of the .html file.
