Hi folks,

For years, I used Aaron Swartz's (RIP) html2.txt.py to convert HTML docs to 
-- wait for it -- text. When working, it did a wonderful job leaving you 
with clean Markdown-formatted output, even if supplied with Google Docs' 
excuse for HTML export as its input.

At some point, this stopped functioning as a text filter. I'm not sure if 
it was a change to BBEdit or to OS X. It was probably a while ago because I 
tried it, it failed with an error, and I left it. Now, I have something it 
may be useful for, but the forks of the python script *appear* to have 
complexified it in a manner that it's not a single file I can just drop 
into the Text Filters folder of BBEdit.

(please correct me if I'm wrong on that one)

Does anyone have this functioning on BBEdit 11.5.1 and OS X 10.11.4?

Does anyone have a worthy replacement? (Converts HTML > Markdown-formatted 
plain text) I am aware of the the `Markup > Utilities > Translate HTML to 
Text…` feature of BBEdit, but unfortunately, it is not as capable. (I'd 
love to see the BBEdit crew bulk this up based on Aaron's work!)

Thanks kindly,

~brian
