For example:\n\n```html\n\u003chtml\u003e\n\u003ctitle\u003eIgnored Title\u003c/title\u003e\n\u003cbody\u003e\n \u003ch1\u003eHello, World!\u003c/h1\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThis is some e-mail content.\n Even though it has whitespace and newlines, the e-mail converter\n will handle it correctly.\n\n \u003cp\u003eEven mismatched tags.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n \u003cdiv\u003eA div\u003c/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv\u003eAnother div\u003c/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv\u003eA div\u003cdiv\u003ewithin a div\u003c/div\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\n \u003ca href=\"http://foo.com\"\u003eA link\u003c/a\u003e\n\n\u003c/body\u003e\n\u003c/html\u003e\n```\n\nWill be converted into:\n\n```text\nHello, World!\n\nThis is some e-mail content. Even though it has whitespace and newlines, the e-mail converter will handle it correctly.\n\nEven mismatched tags.\n\nA div\nAnother div\nA div\nwithin a div\n\n[A link](http://foo.com)\n```\n\n## Installing\n\nYou can use [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/) to add the [package](https://packagist.org/packages/soundasleep/html2text) to your project:\n\n```json\n{\n \"require\": {\n \"usox/html2text\": \"^1\"\n }\n}\n```\n\nAnd then use it quite simply:\n\n```php\n$converter = new \\Usox\\Html2Text()\n$text = $converter-\u003econvert($html);\n```\n\nYou can also include the supplied `html2text.php` and use `$text = convert_html_to_text($html);` instead.\n\n### Options\n\n| Option | Default | Description |\n|--------|---------|-------------|\n| **ignore_errors** | `false` | Set to `true` to ignore any XML parsing errors/warnings. |\n| **drop_links** | `false` | Set to `true` to not render links as `[http://foo.com](My Link)`, but rather just `My Link`. |\n\nPass along options as a second argument to `convert`, for example:\n\n```php\n$html = 'some fine html';\n$options = dict[\n 'ignore_errors' =\u003e true,\n // other options go here\n];\n$converter = new \\Usox\\Html2Text()\necho $converter-\u003econvert($html, $options);\n```\n\n## Tests\n\nSome very basic tests are provided in the `tests/` directory. Run them with `composer install \u0026\u0026 vendor/bin/hacktest tests`.\n\n## License\n\n`html2text` is [licensed under MIT](LICENSE.md), making it suitable for both Eclipse and GPL projects.\n\n## Other versions\n\nThis is a port of the php version found [here](https://github.com/soundasleep/html2text).\n","funding_links":[],"categories":[],"sub_categories":[],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fusox%2Fhtml2text","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fusox%2Fhtml2text","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fusox%2Fhtml2text/lists"}
