html-to-plaintext

Converts a block of HTML to plain text, correctly preserving newlines in tricky situations.

Usage no npm install needed!

<script type="module">
  import htmlToPlaintext from 'https://cdn.skypack.dev/html-to-plaintext';
</script>

Converts HTML to plain text. Preserves line breaks well, but doesn't care about rendering bullet points, numbers, etc.

This is a port of a solution I found here: http://stackoverflow.com/a/30088920

How to use:

import getPlainText from 'html-to-plaintext`;

const plainText = getPlainText(document.getElementsByClassName('.editor')[0]);

To run the tests:

npm install
npm test
