I can constrain HTML pages to be valid XML. So, the hard part is solved. But still I don't know of a good solution to covert it to plain text. ...

If tables weren't an issue, I think "lynx -dump file.html" would work for you. To deal with tables, you could try converting to groff format and using groff's "tbl" pre-processor to format your tables. -- Larry Kollar k o l l a r @ a l l t e l . n e t "The hardest part of all this is the part that requires thinking." -- Paul Tyson, on xml-doc
