The best HTML to text transformer
Hypertext
A PHP HTML to pure text transformer that beautifully handles various and malformed HTML.
Hypertext is excellent at pulling text content out of any HTML based document and automatically:
- Removes CSS
- Removes scripts
- Removes headers
- Removes non-HTML based content
- Preserves spacing
- Preserves links (optional)
- Preserves new lines (optional)
It is directed at using the output in LLM related tasks, such as prompts and embeddings.
