html2text

html2text(1)						      General Commands Manual						      html2text(1)

NAME

       html2text - an advanced HTML-to-text converter

SYNOPSIS

       html2text -help
       html2text -version
       html2text [ -unparse | -check ] [ -debug-scanner ] [ -debug-parser ] [ -rcfile path ] [ -style ( compact | pretty ) ] [ -width width ] [ -o
       output-file ] [ -nobs ] [ -ascii | -utf8 ] [ -nometa ] [ input-url ...  ]

DESCRIPTION

       html2text reads HTML documents from the input-urls, formats each of them into a stream of plain text characters, and writes the	result	to
       standard output (or into output-file, if the -o command line option is used).

       If  no  input-urls  are	specified on the command line, html2text reads from standard input. A dash as the input-url is an alternate way to
       specify standard input.

       html2text understands all HTML 3.2 constructs, but can render only part of them due to the limitations of the text output format.  However,
       the  program attempts to provide good substitutes for the elements it cannot render.  html2text parses HTML 4 input, too, but not always as
       successful as other HTML processors. It also accepts syntactically incorrect input, and attempts to interpret it "reasonably".

       The way html2text formats the HTML documents is controlled by formatting properties read from an  RC  file.   html2text	attempts  to  read
       $HOME/.html2textrc  (or	the  file  specified  by the -rcfile command line option); if that file cannot be read, html2text attempts to read
       /etc/html2textrc.  If no RC file can be read (or if the RC file does not override all formatting properties),  then  "reasonable"  defaults
       are assumed. The RC file format is described in the html2textrc(5) manual page.

       Debian  version	of  html2text also can do input and output recoding (see /usr/share/doc/html2text/README.Debian for more info).  html2text
       tries to fetch encoding from HTML document. If encoding is not specified, you can use -ascii and -utf8 options.	 Output  is  converted	to
       user's locale charset (LC_CTYPE).

OPTIONS

       -nometa
	      By default, Debian version of html2text use 'meta http-equiv' tag for input recoding. This option cancels this behavior.

       -ascii By  default,  when -nometa is supplied, html2text uses UTF-8 for the output. Specifying this option, plain ASCII is used instead. To
	      find out how non-ASCII characters are rendered, refer to the file "ascii.substitutes".

       -utf8  By default, when -nometa is supplied, html2text uses ISO 8859-1 for the input. Specifying this option, UTF-8 is used  instead  (both
	      for input and output). This option implies -nobs.

       -check This  option  is	for  diagnostic purposes: The HTML document is only parsed and not processed otherwise. In this mode of operation,
	      html2text will report on parse errors and scan errors, which it does not in other modes of  operation.  Note  that  parse  and  scan
	      errors  are  not	fatal for html2text, but may cause mis-interpretation of the HTML code and/or portions of the document being swal-
	      lowed.

       -debug-parser
	      Let html2text report on the tokens being shifted, rules being applied, etc., while scanning the HTML document. This  option  is  for
	      diagnostic purposes.

       -debug-scanner
	      Let html2text report on each lexical token scanned, while scanning the HTML document. This option is for diagnostic purposes.

       -help  Print command line summary and exit.

       -nobs  By  default, original html2text renders underlined letters with sequences like "underscore-backspace-character" and boldface letters
	      like "character-backspace-character". Because of issues with UTF-8, Debian version of html2text doesn't produce backspaces, so  this
	      option really does nothing.

       -o output-file
	      Write  the  output  to output-file instead of standard output. A dash as the output-file is an alternate way to specify the standard
	      output.

       -rcfile path
	      Attempt to read the file specified in path as RC file.

       -style ( compact | pretty )
	      Style pretty changes some of the default values of the formatting parameters documented in html2textrc(5).  To find  out	which  and
	      how  the	formatting  parameter  defaults  are  changed,	check the file "pretty.style". If this option is omitted, style compact is
	      assumed as default.

       -unparse
	      This option is for diagnostic purposes: Instead of formatting the parsed document, generate HTML code, that is guaranteed to be syn-
	      tactically  correct.  If	html2text has problems parsing a syntactically incorrect HTML document, this option may help you to under-
	      stand what html2text thinks that the original HTML code means.

       -version
	      Print program version and exit.

       -width width
	      By default, html2text formats the HTML documents for a screen width of 79 characters. If redirecting the output into a file,  or	if
	      your  terminal  has  a  width other than 80 characters, or if you just want to get an idea how html2text deals with large tables and
	      different terminal widths, you may want to specify a different width.

FILES

       /etc/html2textrc
	      System wide parser configuration file.

       $HOME/.html2textrc
	      Personal parser configuration file, overrides the system wide values.
