[Tutor] HTML --> TXT?

Wed, 29 Mar 2000 13:13:13 -0600

Justin - Thanks, but I tried looking at those, but they were about as
clear as mud to me.
If they really are for translations such as this, would someone please
post a more straight-forward example?

Deirdre - Thanks for the code -- its very helpful and gives me a
starting point.
It was what I was originally thought would need to be done, but thought
there might be an easier way.
Would the "re" module be a good use for something like this, or would it
be overkill?

Thanks!
Curtis

text?

Check out the htmllib and formatter modules.  The HTMLParser and
DumbWriter classes in those respective modules should do what you need.
