# excerpt-html

parses a given html text for a good excerpt.

# Install

```

$ npm i excerpt-html --save

```

# API usage

```JavaScript

var htmlCode = '
Hello world
';

var excerptHtml = require('excerpt-html');

var excerpt = excerptHtml(htmlCode);

```


It will either use the first found paragraph or everything up to a 

``

# Options

You can specify a few options that modify the way the excerpt is parsed:

``` JavaScript

excerptHtml(htmlCode, {

    moreRegExp:  /\s*/i,  // Search for the slug

    stripTags:   true, // Set to false to get html code

    pruneLength: 140, // Amount of characters that the excerpt should contain

    pruneString: '…', // Character that will be added to the pruned string

    pruneSeparator: ' ', // Separator to be used to separate words

})

```

Note: `pruneLength` and `prunestring` only work when `stripTags` is set to `true` (default).

# History
