Convert HTML to TXT

Understanding HTML and TXT file formats

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the standard language used to create and design web pages. It allows for the structuring of content, including text, images, and links, using various tags and attributes. HTML files are typically viewed in web browsers and can include complex formatting and multimedia elements.

TXT (Plain Text) files, on the other hand, are simple text documents that contain unformatted text. They are universally readable across different platforms and software, making them ideal for storing and sharing basic text information without any special formatting.

Why convert HTML to TXT?

Converting HTML to TXT can be useful when you need to extract plain text content from a web page for analysis, storage, or sharing without the additional HTML tags and formatting. This conversion simplifies the content, making it easier to read and process.
