node-mime-email-formatter

An advanced converter that parses HTML and returns simply formatted HTML. It was mainly designed to transform HTML E-Mail templates to valid HTML cured of divitis and, most importantly, where the inline replies are removed.

This was original a fork from https://github.com/werk85/node-html-to-text, but since the output is not text anymore, the repo was renamed to make things clearer

Installation

npm install mime-email-formatter

Or when you want to use it as command line interface it is recommended to install it globally via

npm install mime-email-formatter -g

Usage

You can read from a file via:

var htmlFormatter = require('mime-email-formatter');

htmlFormatter.fromFile(path.join(__dirname, 'test.html'), {
	tables: ['#invoice', '.address']
}, function(err, text) {
	if (err) return console.error(err);
	console.log(text);
});

or directly from a string:

var htmlFormatter = require('mime-email-formatter');

var text = htmlFormatter.fromString('<h1>Hello World</h1>', {
	wordwrap: 130
});
console.log(text);

Options:

You can configure the behaviour of html-to-text with the following options:

• tables allows to select certain tables by the class or id attribute from the HTML document. This is necessary because the majority of HTML E-Mails uses a table based layout. Prefix your table selectors with an . for the class and with a # for the id attribute. All other tables are ignored. You can assign true to this attribute to select all tables. Default: []
• wordwrap defines after how many chars a line break should follow in p elements. Set to null or false to disable word-wrapping. Default: 80
• ignoreHref ignore all document links if true.
• ignoreImage ignore all document images if true.
• preserveNewlines by default, any newlines \n in a block of text will be removed. If true, these newlines will not be removed.
• decodeOptions defines the text decoding options given to he.decode. For more informations see the he module.
