This PM utility strips HTML codes from Web pages, leaving only the text and optionally the URLs. While the layout of tables and lists is lost during stripping, data is sorted to separate lines for legibility.

Install PMStripper as the HTML source viewer in WebX instead of the OS/2 system editor E, and you can use the Ctrl V keystroke combination to load the web page source directly into PMStripper. Since the IBM Web Explorer does not have an option to save the contents of a web page as plain ASCII text, using PMStripper makes it easier to save text from web pages.

Although Netscape will save a web page as plain ASCII text, it also saves the layout of the page. Using PMStripper as the HTML source viewer with Netscape will make it easier obtain just the text of an article posted on a web page.
