htmlstrip

htmlstrip

Strips HTML from the input, outputs plain text. It is streamed in realtime without preloading the whole document.

• Easy to use Writer interface:
  io.Copy(&htmlstrip.Writer{W: os.Stdout}, os.Stdin)

• All it does is strip HTML into plain text.

• Should never use excessive memory as it does not buffer the whole document.

• Script, style and head tags are removed entirely, as they are not part of the page's text.

• The provided command strips HTML from standard input or specified files, writes plain text to standard output.
  go install github.com/millerlogic/htmlstrip/cmd/htmlstrip

• Could be used as an extremely basic, non-interactive text browser:
  curl -s -S https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinchilla | htmlstrip | less
