BS can do what you want, you must be missing something. One of the
most basic examples of using BS is to print an HTML file as plain text
- ie stripping just the tags. So it must be possible.

Can you put together a short example of the code you are using?

You an use lower level parsers but BS is geneally easier, but until
we know what you are doing its hard to guess what might be wrong.
