I want to read the website text without html tags and headers. i just need the text displayed in the web browser.

i don't need like this 

<html>
<body>
bla bla </td><td>
bla bla 
<body>
<html>

i just need the text "bla bla bla bla".

I have used the webclient and httpwebrequest methods to get the HTML content and to split the received data but it is not possible because if i change the website the tags may change.

So is there any way to get only the displayed text in the website anagrammatically?
