I'm importing some data from another test/bug tracking tool into tfs, and I would like to convert it's description, which is in simple HTML, so a plain string, where the 'layout' of the HTML is preserved.
For example:
<body>
<ol>
<li>Log on with user Acme & Co.</li>
<li>Navigate to the details tab</li>
<li>Check the official name</li>
</ol>
<br>
<br>
Expected Result:<br>
official name is filled in<br>
<br>
Actual Result:<br>
The &-sign is not shown correctly<br>
See attachement.
</body>
Would become plain text with newlines inserted and HTML-entities translated like:
1. Log on with user Acme & Co. 2. Navigate to the details tab 3. Check the official name Expected Result: official name is filled in Actual Result: The &-sign is not shown correctly See attachment
I can currently replace some tags with newlines using a regex and strip the rest, but replacing the HTML-entities and stuff like <ol> and <ul> seemed like I'm re-inventing something (browser?). So I was wondering if someone has done this before me. I can't find it using Google.

Rather than regex, you could try loading it into the HTML agility pack? If it was xhtml, then an xslt transformation might be a good option.
