Strip HTML From "mirror" output?

I wanted to capture the output of "zlib vars" to a separate file.

"mirror" looks to do that - *mirror* [filename] - stop [or start] logging to an additional file.

'mirror foo'
'zlib vars'
'mirror foo'

The output is in html though.

'cat foo'

<b>Copy/paste any of the following lines into the CLI to edit settings:</b><br>
<font color="black">zlib ascend_breakOnBoss = true</font>
<font color="black">zlib ascend_exitWhenDone = false</font>

Is there a way to specify vanilla ascii?

Thanks.
 
Related, sometimes HTML is used for gCLI output and consequently shows up in the session log. I'd love it if there was a way to force session logs, that contain script generated output, to be plain text. I understand the the solution to this may be to educate the script writer ;-)
 
In Raven434's example, the first line is the the result a print_html(), but the other lines are just regular print() output.
 
Isn't the gCLI *implemented* as a HTML widget?


If you are on a unix-like system (with cats and dogs ...) you can probably do something like "lynx -force-html -dump file.html > file.txt"
