Unfortunately, the HTML ConvertLIT produces is the HTML contained in the LIT file, modulo a few bugs (which you can avoid by using calibre's 'lit2oeb' instead). There are several ways to turn HTML into plain text. Firefox's "Save Page As..." does a pretty good job. I find the '-dump' feature of the text-only browesr 'lynx' gives me the best overall plain-text output, but it can be a bit fiddly to get the character encoding right.
