html2md turns html into markdown
- if no input file is given it ueses the clipboard content
- if no output file is given it logs the result to stdout
- if there is input from stdin clipboard will be ignored for inputs
Examples:
$ html2md -i ./foo.html # output to stdout
$ html2md -i ./foo.html -o out.md # output to out.md
$ html2md -o out.md # clipboard to out.md
$ html2md -c # clipboard to clipboard
$ html2md # clipboard to stdout
$ html2md -g # clipboard to stdout using GitHub flavored markdown
$ echo "
foo
" | html2md # will output to stdout

## Troubleshooting
The following error indicates that `$DISPLAY` is not set to a valid display: `Error: Both xsel and fallback failed`
**html2md** relies on a valid `$DISPLAY` because it uses clipboard via **xsel**.
In some environments (for example, **tmux**) you may need to run the command as follows:
```plain
DISPLAY=:0 html2md ... # or whatever your display id is.
```
Fully headless systems may not be able to use **html2md**.
