Frequently asked questions

Does it preserve line breaks?

Yes, block elements like <p>, <div>, and <br> are converted to line breaks. The output is formatted plain text, not a single continuous line.

What happens to links and images?

Links are converted to their text content. Images are either removed or represented by their alt text if you choose to preserve it.

Can it extract text from complex HTML?

Yes, the tool recursively processes all nested elements and extracts all text content, making it useful for scraping or analyzing HTML documents.
