Tony,

I don't know about the source code, but Homesite2.0
(http://www.dexnet.com) will strip all the HTML tags from a coded
document. (Edit menu, Strip All Tags) It leaves you with a straight ascii
text document with carriage returns and white space preserved. It's also a
really nice HTML editor for those who already know code and want to speed
up their productivity.
