If you have an HTML page generated by M$ Word and want to extract only
the HTML part, you can either remove tons of useless CSS by hand or use
such a utility... However:
It is essentially a Perl-5-liner with glue code:
$content =~ s%<link.*?rel=\"stylesheet\".*?>%%mg; # Strip stylesheet links
$content =~ s%<style>.*?</style>%%mg; # Strip <style> blocks
$content =~ s%style=\".*?\"%%mg; # Strip style attributes
$content =~ s%class=\".*?\"%%mg; # Strip class attributes
$content =~ s%id=\".*?\"%%mg; # Strip id attributes
Doesn't this remove strings looking like CSS from ordinary text, too?
