in reply to Remove HTML tags from document

You could use HTML::TokeParser::Simple and only print text tags. 

#almost straight from the TokeParser::Simple POD

use HTML::TokeParser::Simple;
my $p = HTML::TokeParser::Simple->new( $somefile );

while ( my $token = $p->get_token ) {
          
     print $token->as_is if $token->is_text;
}

    This works nicely. Is there an easy adapation that would allow me to maintain spacing that is in the HTML document?

      I'm not sure I understand. I recall that HTML::TokeParser::Simple does in fact maintain newlines in the text. I tested the code quickly just to make sure and it does maintain newlines in the html. Do you have tags that are multi-line? What exactly is happening?

        I have tables where I would like to maintain the tabs.
