html2text

html2text is a Python script that converts a page of HTML into clean, easy-to-read plain ASCII text. Better yet, that ASCII also happens to be valid Markdown (a text-to-HTML format).

Usage: html2text [filename [encoding]]

Option	Description
`--version`	Show program's version number and exit
`-h`, `--help`	Show this help message and exit
`--ignore-links`	Don't include any formatting for links
`--escape-all`	Escape all special characters. Output is less readable, but avoids corner case formatting issues.
`--reference-links`	Use reference links instead of links to create markdown
`--mark-code`	Mark preformatted and code blocks with [code]...[/code]

For a complete list of options see the docs

Or you can use it from within Python:

&gt;&gt;&gt; import html2text
&gt;&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;&gt; print(html2text.html2text("<p><strong>Zed's</strong> dead baby, <em>Zed's</em> dead.</p>"))
**Zed's** dead baby, _Zed's_ dead.

Or with some configuration options:

&gt;&gt;&gt; import html2text
&gt;&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;&gt; h = html2text.HTML2Text()
&gt;&gt;&gt; # Ignore converting links from HTML
&gt;&gt;&gt; h.ignore_links = True
&gt;&gt;&gt; print h.handle("<p>Hello, <a href="https://www.google.com/earth/">world</a>!")
Hello, world!

&gt;&gt;&gt; print(h.handle("</p><p>Hello, <a href="https://www.google.com/earth/">world</a>!"))

Hello, world!

&gt;&gt;&gt; # Don't Ignore links anymore, I like links
&gt;&gt;&gt; h.ignore_links = False
&gt;&gt;&gt; print(h.handle("</p><p>Hello, <a href="https://www.google.com/earth/">world</a>!"))
Hello, [world](https://www.google.com/earth/)!
