The w3.org Web server supports a series of ,comma tools.
One of them is ,detab.
It very simply linearizes HTML TABLE by removing the table markup. If you're looking for a more advanced linearizer of HTML tables, look at tablin.
The script used is a one page PERL program.
The comma-tool capability itself is implemented as an apache rewrite rule and done such that it's transparent (for sake of relative resources).
RewriteRule ^(.+),detab$ http://yourserver/cgi-bin/detab.pl?uri=http://%{HTTP_HOST}$1 [P,L]
Enjoy.
