Item14484: make html-to-text converter configurable
Priority: Enhancement
Current State: Closed
Released In: n/a
Target Release:
Some linux distributions have dropped support for
html2text
replacing it with a python based solution ... which core dumps and/or produces illegal output.
The
html2text
converter is rather important being used by other converters that first convert to html and then to plain text afterwards.
Converting html to text is really not that hard and well supported by a couple of alternatives in case the good old
html2text
utility isn't available anymore,
such as
w3m
,
lynks
or
links
. Each of them is an excellent replacement producing good results.
