Vilistextum - HTML to text converter

Vilistextum is a small, fast HTML to text converter. It is quite fault-tolerant and deals well with badly-formed or otherwise quirky HTML. It has full support for different character sets (e.g. Unicode). It can optimize for ebook reading, collapse multiple blank lines, and create footnotes out of links. A GUI frontend using 'kaptain' is included.
