How can I convert HTML tags to rtRTF or any rich format text using sed
or any linux command-line tool?
I've achieved to strip them with sed 's/<[^>]*>//g'
, but I need the <b>hi</b>
to convert to **hi**
.

html2text is a command-line tool that converts HTML to Markdown.
You will most probably get very frustrated trying to use sed
to do this without error. The reason is touched upon in a legendary SO post. In very basic cases it might work, but it will come back to haunt you of you make it a habit, so learn how to do it correctly directly instead. Using a ready tool such as html2text is a lot better than trying to regex it out by hand.
