html2text is a very simple script that uses PHP's DOM methods to load from HTML, and then iterates over the resulting DOM to output plain text.
Example:
```
Ignored Title
Hello, World!
This is some e-mail content.
Even though it has whitespace and newlines, the e-mail converter
will handle it correctly.
Even mismatched tags.
A div
Another div
A divwithin a div
A link
```
Will be converted into:
```

Even mismatched tags.

within a div
[A link](http://foo.com)
