There is more than half a dozen HTML-to-text converters I know of
off-hand: lynx, links, elinks, w3m, one htmltotext tool whose name I
forgot (check freshmeat.net), dillo.

Oh, and I just remembered HTMLDOC.org of which there's a FrOSS version,
which can convert HTML to PDF or PS and generates quite handsome results
if used properly. If HTML contains sufficient markup, perhaps that's
even a better way than the route via docbook and XSL-FO.
