html-text-extract

This is a simple tool to extract the text from HTML fragments.

const hte = require('html-text-extract')
hte('<h1>Welcome</h1><p>Hello, world!</p>')  // => 'Welcome Hello, world!'

The hte() function takes two parameters:

• html (string) containing the HTML code.
• ignoreCodeElements (optional Boolean) controlling whether the contents of <code> tags are omitted from the extracted text.

It returns a string that is the text extracted from the HTML. The following attributes' values are also included:

• alt
• aria-label
• title
• placeholder
• label (as used on an <optgroup>)

Development

Set-up
