HTML2Markdown

HTML2Markdown works on a simple parsing engine, reading text, scanning for known HTML tags and replacing them with the appropriate Markdown formatting characters.

The library works with client-side (browsers) and server-side (Node.js) environments.

What is new in this release:

• Some readability changes like collapse whitespace, treat images as block elements, do not output text if elements are empty.
• Added support for converting relative url's to absolute url's.
• Dropped wordwrap function as it does not seem a good idea to introduce new lines in the converter. and wordwrap behaviro was not consistents as elements can be nested.
• Added support for refeence style images and links (option driven to choose between inline markdown formatting and refernce style formatting).
• Added ton's of unit tests.
• Parser implementation provided support for ignoring tags that you do not want to convert.
• Parser also has an option to ignore dom elements with hidden styles.
• Added rules for parsing PRE, CODE, SPAN, DIV, TD, DL, DT.
• Added support for ignoring tags that you do not want to convert.
• Improved "startBlock" method and renamed it to "block".
• Added support for nested lists.
• Fixed some showdown rendering issues when a link has a nested image.
