in reply to HTML <=> Text convertion
Now, mentioning PDF brings up another idea - there are HTML => PDF converters and PDF => plaintext converters. There are also plaintext => PDF converters, but no PDF => HTML converters (that I'm aware of). A big problem with converting from XXX => HTML is that HTMl is a non-deterministic format. I find it easier to consider HTML a "hinting format" instead of a "defining format" (like PDF). Browsers, to be compliant, are free to implement whatever they want, so long as they implement something. (This is how you have HTML-x compliant browsers for the blind.)
