C Source, Strip HTML

[Materialised]

Hi everyone, looking for some C source code to enable me to strip html
from a local file, and output to another file.

I figured out how to do a basic strip, i.e simply removing the <tag>'s,
but I am wondering if there is any public source, that can handle table
generation and the '&' tags as well.

Thanks

lynx -dump -nolist

Lynx Version 2.8.4rel.1 (17 Jul 2001)
libwww-FM 2.14, SSL-MM 1.4.1, OpenSSL 0.9.6k
Built on linux-gnu Nov 18 2003 16:52:57

This version of Lynx is absolutely awful at tables; maybe tables
look a *little* better in a different version? It might pay to check
out Mozilla, too --- good textmode table-rendering seems like
something that might be quite alluring to open-source hackers, so
maybe something got wedged into that browser to handle textmode.

In principle, &amp;-style entities are just a table lookup; make
a list of all the entities and their corresponding texts. Tables
are deep magic, typographically speaking, so if you want original
source for dealing with tables, you'll need to be very detailed about
your requirements.

Thanks for your reply Arthur.
I'm downloading the lynx source now, and i'll look over it.
I'll post what I find.
