Frequently asked questions

What is an HTML to text converter for?

It lets you recover only the readable content from an HTML fragment. This is useful when reusing text in an email, a database or a document without markup.

Are links preserved?

The visible link text may remain, but the full address is not necessarily displayed. If you need destinations, check them separately in the source code.

What if the result is empty?

Check that your fragment actually contains visible text and not only empty tags. An extract made of scripts, styles or images will not produce readable text.
