Maybe that or you can define your own filter, which can used like the
other IC filter. 

But, I've trouble to understand your wish. Maybe you want to get the IC
page (like the page, which is viewing in the browser) as a simple text
file? How about creating a script, which use LWP or any kind of Agent to
access that page and store it as a file and call a script or program to
convert that HTML page into any kind of file like a text file, pdf file
and so on? 

I'm in a muddle!
