Yes, I had tried that before. It still wraps the text in paragraph tags no matter what I do. And if there are hard-returns in the text then they are saved as <br> tags, not an actual newline character. So although it may look like plain text with the formatting tags removed, it is still an HTML fragment. I'm on a Mac if that makes a difference.

Thanks I hadn't seen that option, but it still doesn't remove all html tags. True there aren't any text formatting tags in the downloaded text, but there are still some <p> and <div> tags in the text that gets saved to the metadata file.
