HTML->unformatted ascii text converters?

     Tony,
     
     The easiest thing in the world is to invest in a $50 copy of HotDog 
     professional.  Import your HTML file. Go to the "Tools" menu and click 
     on "remove HTML tags" and in a few seconds you have unformatted ASCII 
     text.

     They are inexpensive and very well designed.

Hi,

This is probably the opposite of what most people have, but...

Does anyone know of any software out there (including the source code -
in C preferably) that takes HTML documents and outputs straight unformatted
ASCII text (without any of the HTML tags).  If it includes any of the 
rudimentary formatting from the docuement (like centering), that would
be great.

Thanks,

Tony
