I got a HTML file. I wish to parse the content I need to a text file. How can I make use of The unix utility application that strips the HTML markup tags from the file’s content leaving just content text? Thanks for the advise!

Partial HTML file code

                    <tr>
                        <th class="ticker_name">Currency Pair</th>
