Technically, html files ARE plain text. However, if you mean you want to
remove the html formatting, here's an easy way to do it, assuming you have
perl:

perl -i.bak -p -e 's/<.*?>//ig' *.html

That will modify your original files, and remove a good 90% or more of the
formatting, and store the original files in the same name with a .bak
extension.

Hope this helps!
