Batch HTML to Text Converter transforms local HTML/XHTML files, directory trees, and live HTTP/HTTPS web pages into clean, structured Plain Text (.txt) or Markdown (.md) documents. A lightweight Linux alternative to HTMLAsText for documentation archiving, terminal reading, corpus preparation, and markup cleanup.

Key features:

• Structured HTML Parser Engine: Formats headings, ASCII box-grid tables, nested ordered and unordered lists, blockquotes, preformatted code blocks, and numbered [1] reference links.
• Clutter Removal & Line Wrapping: Automatically strips <script>, <style>, <noscript>, and optional navigation/footer chrome while wrapping paragraphs to configurable column widths.
• Side-by-Side HTML vs Text Diff: Compare raw HTML markup against rendered Plain Text or Markdown output alongside extracted headings, table dimensions, and link inventories.
• Compression Telemetry & Batch Export: Visualizes HTML-to-text byte, word, and line compression ratios and exports batch .txt/.md outputs plus CSV and JSON reports.
