Hi

Sometimes I would like to save the text of a webpage, so that
I don't have to copy it over from a browser to vim.

I did :e http://www.somewebsite.com
and vim shows html for the website.

Is there a way such that I get to see only the text, and not
the html tags.

Thanks
Aman Jain

Calling the unnamed register the unnamed register really does nothing but negate the name the unnamed register and render the unnamed register useless as a name, thus the unnamed register is named the unnamed register and is no longer the unnamed register as it is named the unnamed register, so where is the unnamed register to be found and what do we call it!
