About:
html-to-markdown is a robust CLI tool and library for converting HTML content into clean, human-readable Markdown. It intelligently handles complex structures like tables, lists, and links, preserving semantic meaning while stripping unnecessary boilerplate. This makes it ideal for content migration, data processing, and integrating web content into static site generators.
Key Features:
  • Preserves semantic structure (tables, lists, links) during conversion
  • Handles messy or complex HTML from real-world websites
  • Available as both a command-line tool and a developer library
  • Highly configurable output formatting
Use Cases:
  • Migrating blog posts or documentation from HTML to Markdown
  • Scraping website content for analysis or archiving
  • Converting HTML emails or reports into a cleaner text format
Alternatives:
  • pandoc – Pandoc is a universal document converter but is a much larger dependency; html-to-markdown is focused specifically on HTML-to-MD.
  • turndown – Turndown is a JavaScript library for the browser; html-to-markdown provides a robust CLI and Rust-based performance.
