How to get text from a webpage from the command line?

I am looking for a command line equivalent to the Get text from webpage option in /Applications/Automator.app. The Get text from webpageoption is pretty self explanatory, it gets the text only, without HTML tags, CSS, JavaScript, etc. from a webpage. I know I can use wget or curl but that will give me all the HTML tags, CSS, JavaScript, etc. not the only text version of the webpage.


Your best option is the textutil command. Read the man page, but something like:

textutil -convert txt webpage.html

should work.
