and if you want a cleaner copy of the file, you can turn off the numbers and I don't know how this is done but you can capture it without references. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Charles Hallenbeck" <chuckh@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Tuesday, September 04, 2001 6:36 AM Subject: Re: html to text Lynx does a great job. If you open a file with lynx you can then select "p" and save it to a disk file as plain text. The links imbedded in the document are gathered together at the end of the file in a section called "references" with numbers corresponding to the bracketed numbers in the body of the document where they first appear. Also, the suggestion to use the --dump switch does the same thing silently. Just be sure to redirect the output from lynx to your output file.
