I am not sure if one of those options is what you are looking for. Both still show not only the text but also, for example, the post author.

You can [Printing a topic as a PDF](https://meta.discourse.org/t/print-a-topic-as-a-pdf/160061) by adding `/print` to the URL. For example, [https://meta.discourse.org/t/expand-composer-button-on-mobile/296469](https://meta.discourse.org/t/expand-composer-button-on-mobile/296469) is printed like this:  
[https://meta.discourse.org/t/expand-composer-button-on-mobile/296469/print](https://meta.discourse.org/t/expand-composer-button-on-mobile/296469/print)

Discourse also offers a raw view.  
Therefore, you can replace the `/t/topic-title/` in the URL with `/raw/`. If there is a post number at the end of the URL, you see the raw of that post; otherwise, you see the one for the whole topic. However, the author and the post date also appear in the raw view.  
The topic looks like this in raw view: [https://meta.discourse.org/raw/296469/](https://meta.discourse.org/raw/296469/)
