v2.27.2

Fixed

• Plain text list items missing markers: <ul> and <ol> list items in OutputFormat::Plain were output without any bullet or number prefix. Now emits - for unordered lists and sequential N. for ordered lists, respecting the start attribute on <ol>.

v2.27.0 - Plain Text Output Format

Added

• Plain text output format — Set output_format to "plain" to strip all markup and return only visible text. This bypasses the full Markdown/Djot conversion pipeline for maximum speed. Useful for search indexing, text extraction, and feeding content to LLMs.

Usage

// Rust
let options = ConversionOptions { output_format: OutputFormat::Plain, ..Default::default() };
let plain = convert_html_with_options(html, &options)?;

# Python
from html_to_markdown import convert
plain = convert(html, output_format="plain")

// TypeScript / Node.js
import { convert } from "@kreuzberg/html-to-markdown-node";
const plain = convert(html, { outputFormat: "plain" });

Available across all 10+ language bindings: Rust, Python, Node.js, WASM, CLI, Ruby, PHP, Java, C#, Elixir, R, and Go.

Full Changelog: kreuzberg-dev/html-to-markdown@v2.26.3...v2.27.0

v2.26.3

Fixed

• Subscript/superscript content silently dropped: When sub_symbol or sup_symbol was empty (the default), text inside <sub> and <sup> tags was discarded entirely — e.g. H<sub>2</sub>O produced HO instead of H2O.
• Missing whitespace between newline-separated inline elements: Whitespace-only text nodes containing newlines between adjacent inline elements (e.g. <a>…</a>\n<a>…</a>) were dropped, causing links and other inline markup to merge without a word boundary. Now collapses to a single space per HTML white-space normalization rules.

v2.26.2

Fixed

• Inconsistent whitespace before inline elements across paragraphs: Fixed a stateful bug where \n before <a>, <strong>, <em>, and other inline elements inside <p> tags was handled differently depending on the paragraph's position in the document. The second and subsequent paragraphs would drop the space before inline elements, producing text[link](https://github.com/kreuzberg-dev/html-to-markdown/blob/HEAD/url) instead of text [link](https://github.com/kreuzberg-dev/html-to-markdown/blob/HEAD/url). (Issue #212, thanks @​haroldparis)

What's Changed

... (truncated)

Sourced from html-to-markdown-rs's changelog.

[2.27.2] - 2026-03-02

Fixed

• Plain text list items missing markers: <ul> and <ol> list items in OutputFormat::Plain were output without any bullet or number prefix. Now emits - for unordered lists and sequential N. for ordered lists, respecting the start attribute on <ol>.

[2.27.1] - 2026-03-01

Fixed

• Colon introduced into definition list text: <dd> elements inside <dl> were incorrectly prefixed with : (Pandoc definition list syntax), introducing spurious colons into converted text. Standard Markdown and GFM do not support definition list syntax, so <dd> content is now output as plain blocks. (Issue #214, thanks @​smoyerx)
• Go test app go.sum out of sync: Updated tests/test_apps/go/go.sum to match the v2.27.0 module version, fixing the CI Go lint job.

[2.27.0] - 2026-03-01

Added

• Plain text output format: New OutputFormat::Plain option that strips all markup and returns only visible text content. Set output_format to "plain" (also accepts "plaintext" or "text"). This fast-path bypasses the full Markdown/Djot conversion pipeline — after DOM parsing, a lightweight text extractor walks the tree collecting only visible text with structural whitespace. Useful for search indexing, text extraction, and feeding content to LLMs.

[2.26.3] - 2026-02-28

Fixed

• Subscript/superscript content silently dropped: When sub_symbol or sup_symbol was empty (the default), text inside <sub> and <sup> tags was discarded entirely — e.g. H<sub>2</sub>O produced HO instead of H2O.
• Missing whitespace between newline-separated inline elements: Whitespace-only text nodes containing newlines between adjacent inline elements (e.g. <a>…</a>\n<a>…</a>) were dropped, causing links and other inline markup to merge without a word boundary. Now collapses to a single space per HTML white-space normalization rules.

[2.26.2] - 2026-02-28

Fixed

• Inconsistent whitespace before inline elements across paragraphs: Fixed a stateful bug where \n before <a>, <strong>, <em>, and other inline elements inside <p> tags was handled differently depending on the paragraph's position in the document. The second and subsequent paragraphs would drop the space before inline elements, producing text[link](https://github.com/kreuzberg-dev/html-to-markdown/blob/main/url) instead of text [link](https://github.com/kreuzberg-dev/html-to-markdown/blob/main/url). (Issue #212, thanks @​haroldparis)

[2.26.1] - 2026-02-27

Fixed

• YAML frontmatter in convert_with_metadata output: convert_with_metadata no longer prepends YAML frontmatter to the markdown string. Since metadata is returned as a structured ExtendedMetadata object, embedding it in the content string was redundant and polluted the output.

[2.26.0] - 2026-02-26

Added

• C FFI distribution infrastructure: Distribution-grade C FFI library with CMake/pkg-config integration, installation scripts, and packaging for system-level consumption.
• C FFI test coverage: Comprehensive C test suite covering conversion, metadata extraction, error handling, visitor pattern, profiling, and version queries.
• C documentation and examples: C API reference, getting-started snippets, and example programs for basic conversion, metadata extraction, and visitor pattern usage.

Fixed

• R package r-universe build: Configure scripts now download the source archive from GitHub when the monorepo is unavailable, enabling r-universe and standalone source installs to vendor crates automatically.
