[Glastonbury] html wc

[Henry Bennett]

Ian,

I know this will likely piss you off at not being a linux thing but MS Word
has this functionality. I don't know the context of what your trying to
do...if it is a one off then I suspect most word procs do this. However I
suspect you are trying to automate something...

Just my 2c (from the wrong side of the fence).

Henry

Subject: [Glastonbury] html wc

Hi Folks,
This should be trivially easy, but I'm not seeing a solution ... does
anyone have a quick and easy way of counting the words in an html
document, without counting the markup?  I thought I remembered a
utility called (something like) html2ascii, but I'm not finding it. So
either a suggestion for a tool for stripping the markup from an html
file, or a tool for directly doing a wc on an html file, would be much
appreciated.

Thanks,
Ian
