Hi, Alan (and Hedley): ID 2.x did export HTML, but later releases do not! There's an export "package" option for GoLive, but it's not HTML.
There are free scripts available at the Adobe Studio and InDesign User-to-User Forum that can export all stories in a file as RTF or text. You can export an ID file as XML, but you need to assign XML element tags to each object and story to do this. Your suggestion to export as PDF and convert PDF to RTF is a reasonable workaround.
