If you install Lynx, you can easily run the page through Lynx and let it 
output a nicely formatted text file - but without support for tables.

My favorite text editor NoteTab also has a good 'convert to text' function, 
and can be scripted to run through a complete directory of HTML files on 
your hard disk.

Tidy however can not do this, so it is rather off-topic for this list.
