### Why convert HTML to Markdown?
|
|
|
|
*"What alchemy is this?"* you mutter. *"I can see why you'd convert [Markdown to HTML](http://michelf.com/projects/php-markdown/),"* you continue, already labouring the question somewhat, *"but why go the other way?"*
|
|
|
|
Typically you would convert HTML to Markdown if:
|
|
|
|
1. You have an existing HTML document that needs to be edited by people with good taste.
|
|
2. You want to store new content in HTML format but edit it as Markdown.
|
|
3. You want to convert HTML email to plain text email.
|
|
4. You know a guy who's been converting HTML to Markdown for years, and now he can speak Elvish. You'd quite like to be able to speak Elvish.
|
|
5. You just really like Markdown.
|
|
|
|
### How to use it
|
|
|
|
Either include HTML_To_Markdown.php directly:
|
|
|
|
require_once( dirname( __FILE__) . '/HTML_To_Markdown.php' );
|
|
|
|
Or, require the library in your composer.json:
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
"require": {
|
|
"nickcernis/html-to-markdown": "dev-master"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Then `composer install` and add `require 'vendor/autoload.php';` to the top of your script.
|
|
|
|
Next, create a new HTML_To_Markdown instance, passing in your valid HTML code:
|
|
|
|
$html = "<h3>Quick, to the Batpoles!</h3>";
|
|
$markdown = new HTML_To_Markdown($html);
|
|
|
|
The `$markdown` object now contains the Markdown version of your HTML. Use it like a string:
|
|
|
|
echo $markdown; // ==> ### Quick, to the Batpoles!
|
|
|
|
Or access the Markdown output directly:
|
|
|
|
$string = $markdown->output();
|
|
|
|
The included `demo` directory contains an HTML->Markdown conversion form to try out.
|
|
|
|
### Conversion options
|
|
|
|
By default, HTML To Markdown preserves HTML tags without Markdown equivalents, like `<span>` and `<div>`.
|
|
|
|
To strip HTML tags that don't have a Markdown equivalent while preserving the content inside them, set `strip_tags` to true, like this:
|
|
|
|
$html = '<span>Turnips!</span>';
|
|
$markdown = new HTML_To_Markdown($html, array('strip_tags' => true)); // $markdown now contains "Turnips!"
|
|
|
|
Or more explicitly, like this:
|
|
|
|
$html = '<span>Turnips!</span>';
|
|
$markdown = new HTML_To_Markdown();
|
|
$markdown->set_option('strip_tags', true);
|
|
$markdown->convert($html); // $markdown now contains "Turnips!"
|
|
|
|
Note that only the tags themselves are stripped, not the content they hold.
|
|
|
|
To strip tags and their content, pass a space-separated list of tags in `remove_nodes`, like this:
|
|
|
|
$html = '<span>Turnips!</span><div>Monkeys!</div>';
|
|
$markdown = new HTML_To_Markdown($html, array('remove_nodes' => 'span div')); // $markdown now contains ""
|
|
|
|
### Style options
|
|
|
|
Bold and italic tags are converted using the asterisk syntax by default. Change this to the underlined syntax using the `bold_style` and `italic_style` options.
|
|
|
|
$html = '<em>Italic</em> and a <strong>bold</strong>';
|
|
$markdown = new HTML_To_Markdown();
|
|
$markdown->set_option('italic_style', '_');
|
|
$markdown->set_option('bold_style', '__');
|
|
$markdown->convert($html); // $markdown now contains "_Italic_ and a __bold__"
|
|
|
|
### Limitations
|
|
|
|
- Markdown Extra, MultiMarkdown and other variants aren't supported – just Markdown.
|
|
|
|
### Known issues
|
|
|
|
- Nested lists and lists containing multiple paragraphs aren't converted correctly.
|
|
- Lists inside blockquotes aren't converted correctly.
|
|
- Any reported [open issues here](https://github.com/nickcernis/html-to-markdown/issues?state=open).
|
|
|
|
[Report your issue or request a feature here.](https://github.com/nickcernis/html2markdown/issues/new) Issues with patches or failing tests are especially welcome.
|
|
|
|
### Style notes
|
|
|
|
- Setext (underlined) headers are the default for H1 and H2. If you prefer the ATX style for H1 and H2 (# Header 1 and ## Header 2), set `header_style` to 'atx' in the options array when you instantiate the object:
|
|
|
|
`$markdown = new HTML_To_Markdown( $html, array('header_style'=>'atx') );`
|
|
|
|
Headers of H3 priority and lower always use atx style.
|
|
|
|
- Links and images are referenced inline. Footnote references (where image src and anchor href attributes are listed in the footnotes) are not used.
|
|
- Blockquotes aren't line wrapped – it makes the converted Markdown easier to edit.
|
|
|
|
### Dependencies
|
|
|
|
HTML To Markdown requires PHP's [xml](http://www.php.net/manual/en/xml.installation.php), [lib-xml](http://www.php.net/manual/en/libxml.installation.php), and [dom](http://www.php.net/manual/en/dom.installation.php) extensions, all of which are enabled by default on most distributions.
|
|
|
|
Errors such as "Fatal error: Class 'DOMDocument' not found" on distributions such as CentOS that disable PHP's xml extension can be resolved by installing php-xml.
|
|
|
|
### Architecture notes
|
|
|
|
HTML To Markdown is a single file that uses native DOM manipulation libraries (DOMDocument), not regex voodoo, to convert code.
|
|
|
|
### Contributors
|
|
|
|
Many thanks to all [contributors](https://github.com/nickcernis/html2markdown/graphs/contributors) so far. Further improvements and feature suggestions are very welcome.
|
|
|
|
### How it works
|
|
|
|
HTML To Markdown creates a DOMDocument from the supplied HTML, walks through the tree, and converts each node to a text node containing the equivalent markdown, starting from the most deeply nested node and working inwards towards the root node.
|
|
|
|
### To-do
|
|
|
|
- Support for nested lists and lists inside blockquotes.
|
|
- Offer an option to preserve tags as HTML if they contain attributes that can't be represented with Markdown (e.g. `style`).
|
|
|
|
### Trying to convert Markdown to HTML?
|
|
|
|
Use [PHP Markdown](http://michelf.com/projects/php-markdown/) from Michel Fortin. No guarantees about the Elvish, though.
