There are still lots of improvements to be had, but FWIW this has worked fine for my [basic] HTML-2-text needs. It requires go 1.x or newer ;) ## Download the package ```bash go get github.com/jaytaylor/html2text ``` ## Example usage ```go package main import ( "fmt" "github.com/jaytaylor/html2text" ) func main() { inputHtml := ` <html> <head> <title>My Mega Service</title> <link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"main.css\"> <style type=\"text/css\">body { color: #fff; }</style> </head> <body> <div class="logo"> <a href="http://mymegaservice.com/"><img src="/logo-image.jpg" alt="Mega Service"/></a> </div> <h1>Welcome to your new account on my service!</h1> <p> Here is some more information: <ul> <li>Link 1: <a href="https://example.com">Example.com</a></li> <li>Link 2: <a href="https://example2.com">Example2.com</a></li> <li>Something else</li> </ul> </p> </body> </html> ` text, err := html2text.FromString(inputHtml) if err != nil { panic(err) } fmt.Println(text) } ``` Output: ``` Mega Service ( http://mymegaservice.com/ ) ****************************************** Welcome to your new account on my service! ****************************************** Here is some more information: * Link 1: Example.com ( https://example.com ) * Link 2: Example2.com ( https://example2.com ) * Something else ``` ## Unit-tests Running the unit-tests is straightforward and standard: ```bash go test ``` # License Permissive MIT license. ## Contact You are more than welcome to open issues and send pull requests if you find a bug or want a new feature.
