Its straightforward approach to serving Markdown files makes it accessible for users comfortable with basic web servers.

  • HTML-to-Markdown – convert entire websites to Markdown with Golang/CLI2024 · github.com · ▲360

Now, I’ve released v2 — a complete rewrite designed to handle even more edge cases. It supports entire websites with a high accuracy. Example use: I’ve used it in my RSS reader to strip HTML down to clean Markdown, similar to the "Reader Mode" in your Browser. It can be used as a Golang package or as an CLI. Give it a try & tell me what edge cases you encounter!
