HTML-to-Kirbytext

Converts an HTML string to Kirbytext markdown.

Note: This is a preliminary version with an inferior approach to parsing the HTML.

Installation

Get the package via npm:

npm install -S html-to-kirbytext

Usage

On the server

const h2k = require('html-to-kirbytext').convert;
const reader = require('html-to-kirbytext/lib/server-reader');

const html = `<h1>A document</h1>
<p>…
…
`;

const result = h2k(reader(html));

In the browser

Assuming you transpile the code with Babel, Browserify, Rollup, etc.

const h2k = require('html-to-kirbytext').convert;
const reader = require('html-to-kirbytext/lib/browser-reader');

const html = `<h1>Another document</h1>
<p>…
…
`;

const result = h2k(reader(html));

Passing a custom converter function

// The custom converter function gets the `document`-
// object passed in as the only argument. This again
// has to be returned. Otherwise the tool errors!
const customConverter = document => {
	// Do something with the DOM.
	// … and return the `document`-object afterwards.
	return document;
};

const result = h2k(reader(html), customConverter);

With the command-line tool

You can either pass in the content via stdin by setting the -/--stdin-flag:

$ cat my-page.html | bin/h2k -s

Or you can pass the content via the --html-flag:

$ bin/h2k --html "<h1>Hello World</h1> …"
