html2md is a tool to convert some unspecified subset of HTML to some unspecified subset of Markdown.
It is small (~300 LOC) and easily extendable.
Due to it's streaming nature html2md can cope with huge HTML files.
This command will install html2md binary into $GOPATH/bin:
go get -u github.com/jorpic/html2md
Now you can use it like this:
curl -s -L "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random" | html2md
curl -s -L http://membrana.ru | iconv -f windows-1251 | html2md
curl -s -L https://golang.org/doc | html2md
At the current point of time the tool is quite fragile. It is the users's responsibility to ensure that the provided HTML is well-formed and UTF-8 encoded.
Just don't be evil and assume "Garbage In Garbage Out": some corner cases or malformed HTML may lead to ridiculous results.
The project is in pre-alpha state and still work in progress, please don't hesitate to report bugs and feature requests.
- more HTML elements (like dl/dd, tables)
- collect links at the end of document
--verbosemode to debug unexpected converter behaviour- markdown beautifier (split long lines, reduce whitespace)
