Markdownify is a Python library designed to convert HTML content into Markdown format. It is currently at version 1.2.2 and maintains an active development status with a healthy release cadence, frequently adding new features and addressing issues.
pip install markdownifyVerified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.
Convert a basic HTML string to Markdown. The `markdownify` function can be aliased as `md` for convenience.
Review the official documentation or GitHub release notes for version 1.0.0 (specifically PR #191) to understand the new function signature and adapt your custom converters accordingly.
Choose either the `strip` option to define tags to remove, or the `convert` option to define tags to specifically process. Do not supply both arguments in the same call.
Ensure the format of the `beautiful_soup_parser` argument matches the intended use: pass a string/list for parser features or a dictionary for direct BeautifulSoup constructor kwargs.
Pass `escape_asterisks=False` and/or `escape_underscores=False` as keyword arguments to the `markdownify` function if you want to prevent these characters from being escaped.
Install the package using pip: `pip install markdownify`
Ensure that the input to the `markdownify` function is always a string containing HTML content. For example, `markdownify('')` for an empty string or `markdownify(html_content_variable)` where `html_content_variable` holds a string.Choose either the `strip` option or the `convert` option, but not both, when calling the `markdownify` function. For example, `markdownify(html, strip=['script'])` or `markdownify(html, convert=['b', 'i'])`.
