# html2text
|
|
|
|
A simple Golang package to convert HTML to plain text (without non-standard dependencies).
|
|
|
|
It converts HTML tags to text and also parses HTML entities into characters they represent.
|
|
A `<head>` section of the HTML document, as well as most other tags are stripped out but
|
|
links are properly converted into their href attribute.
|
|
|
|
It can be used for converting HTML emails into text.
|
|
|
|
Some tests are installed as well.
|
|
Uses semantic versioning and no breaking changes are planned.
|
|
|
|
Fell free to publish a pull request if you have suggestions for improvement but please note that the library can now be considered feature-complete and API stable. If you need more than this basic conversion, please use an alternative mentioned at the bottom.
