August

August is a Rust crate & program for converting HTML to plain text. It is specifically intended for rendering HTML emails as text.

Usage

Add this to your Cargo.toml: toml [dependencies] august = "^2"

and this to your code: ```rust use august;

let input = "

Hello

Here's some HTML!"; println!("{}", august::convert(input, 79)); ```

The output now looks like this: ``` Hello

/Here's some HTML!/ ```

Command line program

Cargo comes with a little command-line program august that reads HTML from stdin and prints text to stdout. If you've enabled the term-size feature, it uses the terminal width as the default width, otherwise it uses 79. You can override this by passing -w WIDTH as an argument.

Known issues

There's no CSS support currently. Some support will probably happen sometime, but it's still unclear what is worth implementing.
