HTML to Text Converter for Config Files

About This Tool

Configuration files are at the heart of modern software development — from package.json and tsconfig.json to VS Code settings and cloud infrastructure templates. This HTML to Text Converter for Config Files is tailored for processing HTML configuration files with the precision and care they require. Configuration files often contain comments (in formats that support them), version-specific settings, and carefully structured hierarchies that must be preserved during formatting. The tool processes these files while maintaining all data integrity, ensuring that indentation reveals the logical structure of configuration sections, nested settings, and conditional values. Whether you are cleaning up auto-generated configuration, merging settings from multiple sources, or preparing config files for documentation, this tool handles the task reliably.

What is HTML to Text Converter?

An HTML to text converter strips all HTML tags, decodes HTML entities, and extracts the plain text content from HTML markup. It intelligently handles block-level elements by inserting line breaks at paragraph, div, heading, and list item boundaries, producing readable plain text that preserves the document's logical structure. HTML entities like &, <, >, ", and   are decoded to their character equivalents. The tool also reports word count and character count for the extracted text. This is useful for content analysis, search indexing, email plain-text versions, and any situation where you need the text content without any HTML formatting.

How to Use This Tool

1. Paste your HTML.
2. Click Extract Text.
3. View plain text with word and character count.
