HTML2Markdown
What is this?
It's a Swift Package which attempts to convert HTML into Markdown.
What? That's a stupid idea!
Yes.
How do I use it?
let html = "<p>This is a <em>terrible</em> idea.<br/>I must be daft.</p>"
do {
let dom = try HTMLParser().parse(html: html)
let markdown = dom.markdownFormatted(options: .unorderedListBullets)
print(markdown)
} catch {
// parsing error
}
This generates the following markdown string:
This is a *terrible* idea. \nI must be daft.
What is supported?
<strong>
and<em>
for highlighting text- ordered and unordered lists (
<ol>
and<ul>
) - paragraphs (
<p>
) and line breaks (<br>
) - hyperlinks (
<a href="...">
)
All other HTML tags are removed.
Note: SwiftUI.Text
currently cannot render Markdown lists, so I've added a MarkdownGenerator.Options.unorderedListBullets
option to generate nicer-looking bullets: •
instead of *
.
