from html to txt/doc
Hi everybody.
I've been using lynx to convert html files to txt. But I was wondering if there is any other utility which could do the same job, and maybe a bit better. I've been searching in the forum, but it seems as if everybody is working from txt/doc to html. Please, if anyone has got any hint. Thanks a lot |

It did an excellent job for me converting some public domain stories into to text files for reading on my pda. I did have to fiddle with some of the conversion parameters to get the headers to come out as I wanted them, but that wasn't difficult to do. |
Great. Thanks

You might also want to look at w3m and elinks. elinks has the advantage that if you pass a web address that requires cookies and/or some sort of login it will usually work.

Thanks for the new tips.

Thanks again |
I mean if you do something like 'elinks -dump google.com > google.txt' it will log you in (providing you have a login there of course) using cookies and convert your personalised page, rather than the page you would get without login in.
