Detagger
-
Version
2.3
Detagger is a Windows program that can either convert
HTML files into good-looking text, or selectively
remove HTML markup. As a markup remover, you can tidy
up your HTML in a number of ways. Simply select the
classes of tags to be removed, sections of code to be
stripped out, or tag manipulations to be performed.
Options include - remove all FONT tags; remove tags
added by MS Office applications; strip out FORM, HEAD,
OBJECT, STYLE or SCRIPT sections; convert tags to
upper or lower case; and replace hyperlinks by their
display values.
As a HTML-to-Text converter, Detagger allows you to
convert HTML newsletters into a more compact and email-
friendly format. The program will output the document
as text, preserving the marked up headings, lists,
tables of the original and turning them into suitable
text formats. Text is laid out as faithfully as
possible to the original, within the constraints of
your chosen page width. Detagger can process tables,
laying them out as formatted text, or optionally
turning them into comma-delimited data (CSV format).
Hyperlinks are replaced by the display text, with the
URL either displayed in the text or as an entry in a
reference table added at the end of the document.
Formatting options include dictating the page width of
the output, or adding custom headers and footers to
the output text. Selected options are saved in so-
called policy files which may be reloaded in later
sessions.
The utility supports wildcards and drag and drop
operation, making it well suited to whatever mode of
operation you prefer. After conversion, results can be
viewed in a browser or text editor (depending on the
type of conversion).
A console version in available for batch or automated
conversions, and is included with the Windows version
for users who register. An API version is available
for developers under separate license for those
wishing to add Detagger"s functionality to their own
software.
