Answer 1

Here's my solution for python 3.

import html
import re

def html_to_txt(html_text):
    ## unescape html
    txt = html.unescape(html_text)
    tags = re.findall("<[^>]+>",txt)
    print("found tags: ")
    print(tags)
    for tag in tags:
        txt=txt.replace(tag,'')
    return txt

Not sure if it is perfect, but solved my use case and seems simple.
