Extract text from web

Question

I'm looking for an easy toll which can crawl the web I give it to and extract all text elements from that. It will be nice if it can do: plain text, alt and title for images, header section. All of the separately if possible. The output should be somehow searchable or text files (xml) for every page it crawled. I need these text to pass them to translators.

Good old Lynx can provide you most features you requested. Try lynx -dump http://superuser.com/, for example.

You can also use wget for recursively crawling the sites you need, and then process the files with various converters available, such as htmltidy.
