html2text in Breadstick

Breadstick runs Debian's own html2text package for ARM64, the build a Debian 13 computer with an ARM processor installs, so html2text should behave as it does on a Linux PC. It is a command line program rather than an app with a window of its own: you run it by typing its command in Breadstick's Terminal, or in any terminal window on the Linux desktop, and it needs no Desktop or Floating session running.

Commands in the package

  • html2text

Type it in Breadstick's Terminal to start the program.

Text and data tools work on files and pipes in the Terminal as on any Linux system, including files in your Android folders once Device files is granted. More in the docs: The Terminal.

About html2text

From Debian's package description

html2text is a converter from HTML to plain text.

html2text reads HTML documents supplied in the command line (or from standard input), converts each of them into a stream of plain text characters and writes output to the file or the terminal.

html2text was written because the author wasn't happy with the output of "lynx -dump" and so he wrote something better.

From Debian's description of the html2text package, under that package's license.
