Pandoc allows you to convert files from one format to other Use following pandoc command:

pandoc -s /path/to/foobar.tex -o foobar.txt

If you want your lines to break at a certain column use --column flag. Use --columns 10000 for non-breaking line.

You can convert -o foobar.txt to a number of other formats like markdown (.md) etc. If you don't specify the -o foobar.txt, pandoc will print the html that you can render in any online tool.

To install pandoc follow this official documentation
