Bullet List Formatter

Bullet List Formatter is a command-line tool that takes an HTML-formatted bullet list from the clipboard, such as a list copied from Microsoft Word, converts it to a plain-text formatted list with tabs for indentation, and copies the result back to the clipboard. The tool also retains any non-bullet text in the input.
