HTML to Text support for Beyond Compare 2
Version 1.0, released 16-Jan-2004
by Scooter Software


Abstract
--------

These rules are an add-on to Beyond Compare that convert HTML source into
formatted plain text that doesn't include tags.  This example uses a
freeware converter, but other programs should work with minimal changes.


Installation
------------

1) Extract all files in Html2Txt.zip into your Beyond Compare installation
   directory.  By default, this would be:
     C:\Program Files\Beyond Compare 2

2) Run Beyond Compare and from the "Tools" menu select "Import Settings...".

3) In "Select import file", enter the name of the rules file:
     C:\Program Files\Beyond Compare 2\Html2Txt\Html2Txt.xml

   Click "Next".  In the "Pick rules to import" list, "HTML-to-Text" should
   be checked.  Click "Next" again, then click "Finish" to import the rules.

4) Whenever you load a pair of HTML files in the file viewer Beyond Compare
   will now convert them to text first, bypassing any differences in HTML
   tags.
