HTMD

An HTML to Markdown converter for Rust, inspired by turndown.js.

Features

• Rich options, same as turndown.js
• Reliable, it passes all test cases of turndown.js
• Minimum dependencies, it uses only html5ever
• Fast, it takes less than 200ms to convert a ~1.4MB Wikipedia page on an i5 7th gen CPU

Usages

Add the dependency

htmd = { git = "https://github.com/letmutex/htmd" }

Basic

use htmd::HtmlToMarkdown;

fn main() {
    assert_eq!("# Heading", HtmlToMarkdown::new().convert("<h1>Heading</h1>").unwrap());
}

Skip tags

use htmd::HtmlToMarkdown;

let converter = HtmlToMarkdown::builder()
    .skip_tags(vec!["script", "style"])
    .build();
assert_eq!("", converter.convert("<script>let x = 0;</script>").unwrap());

Options

use htmd::{options::Options, HtmlToMarkdown};

let converter = HtmlToMarkdown::builder()
    .options(Options {
        heading_style: htmd::options::HeadingStyle::Setex,
        ..Default::default()
    })
    .build();
assert_eq!("Heading\n=======", converter.convert("<h1>Heading</h1>").unwrap());

Custom tag handlers

use htmd::HtmlToMarkdown;

let converter = HtmlToMarkdown::builder()
    .add_handler(vec!["svg"], |_: Element| Some("[Svg Image]".to_string()))
    .build();
