Bio:

JafSoft Limited are a UK-based company that was founded in 1999 and offers a number of text conversion products. Almost all of their products are available in API form, and the core code has been built under a variety of OS's - although sometimes this is achieved through source code licensing. Their first product AscToHTM converted plain text into HTML using an advanced text analysis engine they developed to detect structured elements such as tables. This same engine was used in the later AscToRTF and AscToPDF products. As a result of developing AscToHTM, JafSoft later developed Detagger in response to user feedback. Detagger is a dual-purpose utility that can convert HTML into good looking text, or selectively remove markup from HTML files. It also has some data extraction abilities (e.g. tables to CSV format).

Detagger
Detagger is a utility that converts your HTML into good-looking text or selectively removes markup from your files. When you convert HTML to text Detagger preserves the headings, lists, tables, etc., laying out the text as faithfully as possible to the original. Through the many options you can control the appearance of the output. For example you can set a target page width, or elect to extract tables in CSV format.
Options may be saved for later reuse. API users get a copy of the Windows version to help in working out which options to use. When used as a markup remover, you can select the types of tags or sections of code to be removed.
The API comes in binary format as a Windows DLL that is callable from VB, C# and C/C++ (examples included). However it is known to work under Unix, Linux, Mac OS X and OpenVMS, though these may require a source code license.
