Plain Text Extractor is a Golang library that helps you extract plain text from HTML and Markdown.

It provides a flexible and extensible interface for extracting the plain text content using both the predefined extraction methods and your own custom extraction requirements.

Features

• Parse HTML and Markdown documents into plain text.
• Support for custom extraction functions.
• Easy-to-use API to convert complex documents to simple plain text.

Installation

go get github.com/huantt/plaintext-extractror

Markdown extractor

markdownContent := "# H1 \n*italic* **bold** `code` `not code [link](https://example.com) ![image](https://image.com/image.png) ~~strikethrough~~"
extractor := NewMarkdownExtractor()
output, err := extractor.PlainText(markdownContent)
if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}

Custom Markdown Tag

markdownContent := "This is {color:#0A84FF}red{color}"

customTag := markdown.Tag{
    Name:       "color-custom-tag",
    FullRegex:  regexp.MustCompile("{color:[a-zA-Z0-9#]+}(.*?){color}"),
    StartRegex: regexp.MustCompile("{color:[a-zA-Z0-9#]+}"),
    EndRegex:   regexp.MustCompile("{color}"),
}

markdownExtractor := NewMarkdownExtractor(customTag)
plaintextExtractor := plaintext.NewExtractor(markdownExtractor.PlainText)
plaintext, err := plaintextExtractor.PlainText(markdownContent)
if err != nil{
    panic(nil)
}
fmt.Println(plaintext)
// Output: This is red

HTML Extractor

html := `<div>This is a <a href="https://example.com">link</a></div>`
extractor := NewHtmlExtractor()
output, err := extractor.PlainText(html)
if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}
fmt.Println(output)
// Output: This is a link

Multiple extractors

input := `<div> html </div> *markdown*`
markdownExtractor := markdown.NewExtractor()
htmlExtractor := html.NewExtractor()
extractor := NewExtractor(markdownExtractor.PlainText, htmlExtractor.PlainText)
output, err := extractor.PlainText(input)
if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}
fmt.Println(output)
// Output: html markdown
