HTML list to lines
Convert HTML lists to plain text lines. Paste any HTML with <ul>, <ol>, or standalone <li> elements, and this tool extracts the text content from every list item into a clean line. No formatting, no tags, just the plain text you need.
The tool finds every <li> element regardless of case, strips any inner HTML tags like <b>, <span>, <div>, and <em>, decodes HTML entities (&, <, >, ", '), and trims surrounding whitespace. Each item becomes one line, joined with newlines. If your input has no list items, the output stays empty — no errors.
This is useful when grabbing text from a website's navigation menu, data lists in a CMS, or any HTML snippet containing list items. Rather than copying and pasting each line separately, extract everything at once. The live tally shows how many items were extracted and how many characters the result has.
Everything runs in your browser. Your HTML is never uploaded, so it is safe for working with private data or sensitive content. Copy the output, download it as a .txt file, or send it to another tool.
