basic commands of w3m
I download a HTML file using wget command. I convert it into a text file using w3m.
wget -q0- www.example.com
w3m -dump index.html
I want to use only basic commands like wget, curl, etc. without installing any additional packages like w3m, lynx and html2text to convert HTML to text. Can you suggest some commands to do the same?
Any other method to get text of a webpage using basic commands are also appreciated.

Don't Parse XML/HTML With Regex. I suggest to use an XML/HTML parser (xmlstarlet, xmllint ...).
