html2text API demo

An online demonstration of the html2text Rust crate. Edit the HTML below and see how html2text converts it for text or terminal display.

This demo uses html2text compiled to WASM, which can run in any modern browser, with ratzilla for the web-based terminal output.

Output

The html2text output is updated here:

Edit the HTML here - the output will update live.

The code below shows how to use the currently selected settings in the Rust API.

Use Rich output	The `rich` mode returns spans with attributes (like hyperlinks, emphasis, or colours). When disabled (`plain`), the output is a plain `String` (possibly with formatting depending on other settings, e.g. table borders or `markdown-style` characters added). Rich output adds extra information (annotations) to allow, for example, using terminal colours and other features for a nicer TUI.
use_doc_css	Parse CSS from the HTML document (css)
User CSS	Add user stylesheet rules (css)
Agent CSS	Add browser stylesheet rules (css)
Pad block width	Pad blocks to the width with spaces
Text wrap width	Wrap text to this width even if overall width is wider
Allow width overflow	Allow text to be too wide in extreme cases instead of returning an error
Minimum wrap width	Set the minimum number of columns to use for text blocks.
Raw mode	Render contents of tables as if they were just text. Implies `no_table_borders`
Don’t render table borders	Tables are shown without borders
Don’t wrap URLs at the end	Some terminals handle long URLs better if not pre-wrapped
Use Unicode combining characters for strikeout	This allows crossed out text without terminal codes, but some environments don’t render them correctly (e.g. offset).
Add markdown-like decoration	Add characters, e.g. `*` around `<em>` text even with plain decorators.
URL footnotes	Add numbered list of URLs at the end of the output
