How to use the HTML to Plain Text Converter.
Plain-text extraction should retain headings, list meaning and useful link destinations. Remove markup without joining unrelated words or exposing script content.
Make the workflow fit your task.
Extract readable content in document order, keeping headings, paragraphs and list boundaries. Decide whether to retain link destinations and image alternatives. Exclude script and style contents, then review tables where plain text may lose relationships.

Decisions and troubleshooting.
Should link text and link destinations both appear in plain text?
Include destinations when readers need to follow or verify them; otherwise retain readable labels according to the requested format.
Why did removing HTML tags join two paragraphs together?
Tag removal alone does not preserve block boundaries. Insert suitable separators when converting structural elements.
