[Corpora-List] Looking for a XML to TEXT convertor/editor

[Daniel Zeman]

If you have Perl on your machine (default on Linux), the attached Perl 
script could help you. You call it like

tei2txt.pl < input.xml > output.txt

It strips XML markup. At every "</p>" tag, it flushes text collected so 
far as a new single line. You would have to modify the script if your 
XML does not contain p elements or if you want to break the lines elsewhere.

Best,
Dan
