html-to-text

Build Status Test Coverage

An advanced converter that parses HTML and returns beautiful text. It was mainly designed to transform HTML E-Mail templates to a text representation. So it is currently optimized for table layouts.

Features:

  • Transform headlines to uppercase text.
  • Convert tables to an appropiate text representation with rows and columns.
  • Word wrapping for paragraphs (default 80 chars).
  • Automatic extraction of href information from links.
  • <br> conversion to \n.
  • Unicode support.
  • Runs in browser and server environments.

Installation

npm install html-to-text

Or when you want to use it as command line interface it is recommended to install it globally via

npm install html-to-text -g

Usage

const htmlToText = require('html-to-text');

const text = htmlToText.fromString('<h1>Hello World</h1>', {
  wordwrap: 130
});
console.log(text); // Hello World

Options:

You can configure the behaviour of html-to-text with the following options:

  • tables allows to select certain tables by the class or id attribute from the HTML document. This is necessary because the majority of HTML E-Mails uses a table based layout. Prefix your table selectors with an . for the class and with a # for the id attribute. All other tables are ignored. You can assign true to this attribute to select all tables. Default: []
  • wordwrap defines after how many chars a line break should follow in p elements. Set to null or false to disable word-wrapping. Default: 80
  • linkHrefBaseUrl allows you to specify the server host for href attributes, where the links start at the root (/). For example, linkHrefBaseUrl = 'http://asdf.com' and <a href='/dir/subdir'>...</a> the link in the text will be http://asdf.com/dir/subdir. Keep in mind that linkHrefBaseUrl shouldn't end with a /.
  • hideLinkHrefIfSameAsText by default links are translated the following <a href='link'>text</a> => becomes => text [link]. If this option is set to true and link and text are the same, [link] will be hidden and only text visible.
  • noLinkBrackets dont print brackets around the link if true.
  • ignoreHref ignore all document links if true.
  • ignoreImage ignore all document images if true.
  • preserveNewlines by default, any newlines \n in a block of text will be removed. If true, these newlines will not be removed.
  • decodeOptions defines the text decoding options given to he.decode. For more informations see the he module.
  • uppercaseHeadings by default, headings (<h1>, <h2>, etc) are uppercased. Set to false to leave headings as they are.
  • singleNewLineParagraphs by default, paragraphs are converted with two newlines (\n\n). Set to true to convert to a single newline.
  • baseElement defines the tags whose text content will be captured from the html. All content will be captured below the baseElement tags and added to the resulting text output. This option allows the user to specify an array of elements as base elements using a single tag with css class and id parameters e.g. [p.class1.class2#id1#id2, p.class1.class2#id1#id2] . Default: body
  • returnDomByDefault convert the entire document if we don't find the tag we're looking for if true.
  • longWordSplit describes how to wrap long words, has the following parameters:
    • wrapCharacters is an array containing the characters that may be wrapped on, these are used in order
    • forceWrapOnLimit defines whether to break long words on the limit if true.
  • format pass an object to enable custom formatting for specific elements (see below)
  • unorderedListItemPrefix defines the string that is used as item prefix for unordered lists <ol>. Default: ' * '

Override formatting for specific elements

By using the format option, you can specify formatting for these elements: text, image, lineBreak, paragraph, anchor, heading, table, orderedList, unorderedList, listItem, horizontalLine.

Each key must be a function which eventually receive elem (the current elem), fn (the next formatting function) and options (the options passed to html-to-text).

var htmlToText = require('html-to-text');

var text = htmlToText.fromString('<h1>Hello World</h1>', {
  format: {
    heading: function (elem, fn, options) {
      var h = fn(elem.children, options);
      return '====\n' + h.toUpperCase() + '\n====';
    }
  }
});

console.log(text);

Command Line Interface

It is possible to use html-to-text as command line interface. This allows an easy validation of your generated text and the integration in other systems that does not run on node.js.

html-to-text uses stdin and stdout for data in and output. So you can use html-to-text the following way:

cat example/test.html | html-to-text > test.txt

There also all options available as described above. You can use them like this:

cat example/test.html | html-to-text --tables=#invoice,.address --wordwrap=100 > test.txt

The tables option has to be declared as comma separated list without whitespaces.

Example

<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
  </head>
