Downloading Diary?

So I have a question for those of you that have DL’d your diary in light of recent events (OD Constantly Crashing, etc) and wanted to know which version is the "cleanest".  I DL’d the Text file and the XML file, can’t do the PDF file because I’m not OD+….but will consider getting a month’s worth of OD+ if the PDF file is cleaner than the other two.

What do I mean by CLEAN?  Both the Text and the XML files have all the HTML tags and it makes it hard to read the entries with all that HTML interspersed in the text.  If the PDF file doesn’t have that, then I will gladly re-up my OD+ for another month (seeing as how that’s about all I can afford), but if not then it’s obviously not worth it because then I’m just stuck with all the HTML stuff.  

Any input is appreciated.

Pdf you can only do like 13 entries at a time I think. 🙁

PDF’s will have Tags too I believe and you can only download like 10 entries at a time or something. Best bet would be to download the text file and then clean it or parse it with a script. I would also keep the XML version for later importing into another site.
