Can applescript be written to filter HTML markup to make downloaded documents look normal text? Is there an example of this somewhere?
Thanks,

Hi Teo,
Look at this page http://www.apple.com/applescript/guidebook/sbrt/pgs/sbrt.04.htm and the section titled Removing Markup Codes From Text

You want some sort of HTML renderer. For plain text, use Safari; it’s simplest. Example:
tell application "Safari"
open alias "MacHD:Users:foo:test.html"
set txt to text of document 1
close document 1
end tell
return txt
