A Node.js monorepo providing an advanced HTML to plain text converter, available as a library (html-to-text) and a CLI (@html-to/text-cli), with an HTML-to-markdown package in progress. It handles formatting like tables, lists, and pretty-printing when converting HTML documents to readable text.

Use cases

• convert html email to plain text
• extract readable text from html pages in node
• html to text command line converter
• strip html tags to get plain text
• convert html to markdown
• preprocess html for text analysis

When to choose

• you need high-fidelity plain text rendering of HTML including tables and lists
• you process HTML emails in Node.js
• you want both a programmatic API and a CLI

When to avoid

• you need a browser-based DOM manipulation library
• you want full HTML parsing with a DOM tree API
• you need conversion to rich formats other than text or markdown
