I had the sudden need to send lots of md and html to a service with a 2000 character limit (yes Discord).

So why not just send an image?

1. html -> image
2. md -> html -> image

One possible solution is to use Puppeteer and its screenshot function but I can't run that on my server since it has low specs. Also I only want part of page because webscraping + extracting only part of the page's source.

So enter this. A super stripped html parser and renderer.

It's in a pretty good spot right now for what I need to I probably won't be updating it much especially after implementing table things and adding documentation. If you come across a problem, feel free to make an issue or even a pr.

Todo:

• Parsing
  • Handle empty tags
  • Replace entities in content
  • Add handling for more tags
    • Tables
    • Different header tags (h1, h2...)
  • Add proper handling for attributes
  • Make classes based on behavior and not tag name
  • Parse properly i.e. discard invalid tokens
  • Handle comments (<!-- ... -->)
• Rendering
  • Automatically increase height as needed
  • Handle inline content properly
  • Make renderer render better
  • Remove extra spaces from inline content
  • Organization improvements
  • Font options
  • Other aesthetic options
• Other
  • Documentation
