Html To Markdown
html-to-markdown is a tool that transforms HTML content and websites into Markdown text. It functions as an HTML to Markdown converter and a command line processor for converting files or standard input streams into Markdown documents.
The project is an extensible conversion engine that allows for custom element rendering and the registration of plugins to modify the transformation process. It includes a content filter that uses CSS selectors to include or exclude specific HTML elements during conversion.
The system covers broad capability areas including link resolution for relative URLs, rule-based element transformation, and support for Markdown extensions such as tables. It also handles specific content formatting needs like code backtick escaping and sequential numbering for ordered lists.
The project provides a command line interface for programmatic conversion.
