Hello,

I would like to simply extract the readable text from an HTML document, e.g.
the text that is shown in the browser window. I believe using the
webbrowser control is the best way to do this but can't seem to find an
interface on the control for just getting at the readable text. Does anyone
have any thoughts on how to do this?
