Riaz,
For now, check
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/newsrack/newsrack/WEB-INF/classes/news_rack/archiver/HTMLFilter.java?view=markup
This is a CVS version of code that does precisely this task. This code does a
lot of what you want. Couple of samples of output is at:
http://floss.sarai.net/newsrack/DisplayNewsItem.do?ni=5.5.2006%2Frediff.business%2Fni9.05tata2.htm

I had written this code that used the built-in JDK swing parser earlier. But,
someone else working on this project (newsrack) helped me migrate this over to
HTMLParser.
I will be checking in a newer version of this code in a couple day's time. If
you plan to use this code, please credit 'Subramanya Sastry' and 'Jaikishan
Jalan'. At this time, code for the entire project is being released under
GPL. In future, other licences (apache) will be incorporated.
Would also appreciate any improvements you make to the code.
Thanks,
Subbu.
