### Converts HTML into text of the markdown-flavored variety
## Introduction
Ensure your emails are readable by all!
Turns HTML into raw text, useful for sending fancy HTML emails with an equivalently nicely formatted TXT document as a fallback (e.g. for people who don't allow HTML emails or have other display issues).
html2text is a simple golang package for rendering HTML into plaintext.
There are still lots of improvements to be had, but FWIW this has worked fine for my [basic] HTML-2-text needs.
It requires go 1.x or newer ;)
## Download the package
```bash
go get jaytaylor.com/html2text
```
## Example usage
### Library
```go
package main
import (
"fmt"
"jaytaylor.com/html2text"
)
func main() {
inputHTML := `

text, err := html2text.FromString(inputHTML, html2text.Options{PrettyTables: true})
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
fmt.Println(text)
}
```
