Crate markdown_strip 

markdown-strip

Reduce Markdown text to plain text. Conservative — keeps semantic content intact, drops only formatting markers. Intended for piping LLM output into TTS, keyword matching, or analytics.

Handles: ATX headers (# , ## …), bold/italic (**x**, *x*, __x__, _x_), inline code (backtick spans), fenced code blocks, links ([text](url) → text), images (![alt](url) → alt), blockquote markers (> ), and bullet/number list markers.

Example

use markdown_strip::strip_markdown;
let md = "## Hello\n\n**bold** and *italic* with `code` and [a link](https://x).";
let plain = strip_markdown(md);
assert_eq!(plain, "Hello\n\nbold and italic with code and a link.");
