Depending on how complex the input may be, XSL might be a more powerful
approach (but it takes quite some effort to get used to it!).
Here attached is an XSL script that can serve as a starting point.

Used as 
 $ xsltproc htm2txt.xsl in.htm 

You'll get 
 \markup { \concat { "This is a me"\bold { \concat { \italic { \concat { "lis" 
} } } }"ma." } }

[I couldn't test the output as I don't have a \concat in \version 2.10.]

Best,
Gilles

htm2txt.xsl
Description: application/xml

This is a melisma.
