Project description
# [html2text](http://www.aaronsw.com/2002/html2text/)
[](http://travis-ci.org/Alir3z4/html2text)
html2text is a Python script that converts a page of HTML into clean, easy-to-read plain ASCII text. Better yet, that ASCII also happens to be valid Markdown (a text-to-HTML format).
Usage: html2text.py [(filename|url) [encoding]]
- Options:
- --version
show program’s version number and exit
- -h, --help
show this help message and exit
- --ignore-links
don’t include any formatting for links
- --ignore-images
don’t include any formatting for images
- -g, --google-doc
convert an html-exported Google Document
- -d, --dash-unordered-list
use a dash rather than a star for unordered list items
- -b BODY_WIDTH, --body-width=BODY_WIDTH
number of characters per output line, 0 for no wrap
- -i LIST_INDENT, --google-list-indent=LIST_INDENT
number of pixels Google indents nested lists
- -s, --hide-strikethrough
hide strike-through text. only relevent when -g is specified as well
Or you can use it from within Python:
import html2text print html2text.html2text(“<p>Hello, world.</p>”)
Or with some configuration options:
import html2text h = html2text.HTML2Text() h.ignore_links = True print h.handle(“<p>Hello, <a href=’http://earth.google.com/’>world</a>!”)
