Why Web Scrapers and Marketers Need This
Almost everyone who works with web content eventually needs the words without the markup. Web scrapers collect pages that carry full HTML—tags, attributes, embedded styles—when what the analysis actually wants is the sentence text. Marketers extracting copy from a page for an audit or a competitor review want the plain wording, not the source code that surrounds it. CMS migrations are the biggest offender: exporting an old site’s content produces rich HTML that a new, stricter system may reject or render inconsistently until every tag is stripped back to clean text.
A proper HTML-to-text conversion removes opening and closing tags, comments, and attributes while keeping the text that sits between them. Link text is preserved—the words a visitor would read—while the markup that styled and connected them falls away. That matters for content audits, where you want to compare actual on-page copy across competitors, and for repurposing, where pasting clean text into a document or spreadsheet beats fighting the formatting that arrived with it.
Treat pasted HTML as untrusted input: it may come from an email, an exported page, or an unknown third-party source, so it should never be executed or opened in a live editor as-is. Stripping it to plain text is also the safe way to read what a suspicious message or snippet actually contains before you decide anything about it.
Dealing with HTML Entities
Removing the tags is only half the job. HTML also encodes special characters as entities: & stands for &, < for <, > for >, " for quotes, and for a non-breaking space. Web pages use these so the raw markup is never ambiguous, which means scraped or exported text arrives full of entity codes even after every tag is gone. A good converter decodes those entities automatically, so the output contains the real characters—&, <, >, and readable spaces—instead of their coded stand-ins.
Numbered and hexadecimal entities appear just as often: ’ and ' are apostrophes in decimal and hex form, and content pasted out of a CMS is full of them. Decoding covers these too, because the goal is text that reads naturally in Word, a spreadsheet, or an email rather than text that still looks like source code with the tags accidentally removed.
Watch for in particular. It decodes to a non-breaking space, which looks like a normal space but behaves differently in layouts and exact-match comparisons. If your destination needs ordinary spaces—a database import, a deduplication pass, or a strict character count—run the Whitespace Cleaner on the decoded output so non-breaking spaces become regular ones.
Questions fréquentes
Will this remove inline CSS and JavaScript too?
Yes. A complete HTML-to-text pass removes the content inside <style> and <script> blocks along with the tags themselves, so inline CSS and JavaScript do not survive into the plain-text result. The output is the visible text of the page and nothing executable. Keep that in mind when you inspect pasted HTML from an unknown source: stripping it to text is a safe way to read what it contains, but the tool is a converter, not a security scanner, and you should still treat any script-bearing content you received as untrusted.
