I'm sure I had an app (retired, so is brain) that removed the fluffy HTML but left headings, bold, italic. I may have imagined it.

However, for removing ALL HTML, I use Clean Text. I'm not sure it does batch jobs though. Clean Text is excellent and does what it says on the tin.

I wonder if something like Brackets would clean up the HTML but not remove it completely?

Sorry I can't be more help. I feel your pain.

Edit: doesn't look like Brackets is helpful in this case...
