    html2md turns html into markdown

    - if no input file is given it ueses the clipboard content
    - if no output file is given it logs the result to stdout
    - if there is input from stdin clipboard will be ignored for inputs

    Examples:
        $ html2md -i ./foo.html # output to stdout
        $ html2md -i ./foo.html -o out.md # output to out.md
        $ html2md -o out.md # clipboard to out.md
        $ html2md -c # clipboard to clipboard
        $ html2md # clipboard to stdout
        $ html2md -g # clipboard to stdout using GitHub flavored markdown
        $ echo "<h1>foo</h1>" | html2md # will output to stdout

Troubleshooting

The following error indicates that $DISPLAY is not set to a valid display: Error: Both xsel and fallback failed

html2md relies on a valid $DISPLAY because it uses clipboard via xsel. In some environments (for example, tmux) you may need to run the command as follows:

DISPLAY=:0 html2md ...  # or whatever your display id is.

Fully headless systems may not be able to use html2md.
