Export notes as plain text
Hi,
I wonder if there is a solutions or workaround for my problem. I use Zotero to download news articles from Factiva database. When I do this, the text of the article gets saved as a note. I then need to export all the references to another program for analysis. The problem I have is that the notes are all exported in rich text with a lot of html code, which makes many of the articles unusable.
Is there a way to export the notes as plain text? Or convert them to plain text before exporting? Or is there an alternative workaround?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Note that my question (above) was about doing this on a Mac. It might work out better (or just differently) on a PC, I'm not sure.
I can't find any way to do anything with "save as" and while I can copy the text from a note, there doesn't seem to be any way to paste as plain text, on my PC at least. Is this possible on Mac?
Using other software for now, if that works, sounds like a good idea. In my case, I just needed to do this once (to clear out and archive old notes), but it sounds like you may need to do this repeatedly. All the more reason I'd like to see this feature.
