HTML files can be opened with almost every text editor, so there is no need to convert them. Should you need it, you can rename the HTML extension to TXT. Alternatively, you could view the HTML file using any web browser and copy-paste the text to a text editor. If you want to eliminate the various HTML tags, use the "paste as plain text" function instead of paste.
Professional HTML editors are probably the best software for this. You can find more options in the html to txt conversion entry.

Understanding HTM and TXT file formats
The HTM file format, also known as HTML, is a standard markup language used to create web pages. It contains tags and attributes that define the structure and layout of a webpage, including text, images, and links. HTM files are widely used on the internet and can be opened by any web browser.
On the other hand, a TXT file is a simple text file that contains unformatted text. It is one of the most basic file formats and can be opened by any text editor. TXT files are often used for storing plain text data without any special formatting or multimedia elements.
