Very first character of a converted file is a space character

[185driver]

Though this seems unlikely to be a bug (and more likely to be an issue on my end), I'll create this issue in the hope of resolving what I'm seeing.

Each time I convert an html document to a text file using html-to-text, the very first character of the resulting text file is a space character. It happens whether I use the CLI or nodejs and happens in whichever file I convert.

To reproduce this issue, copy/create the example html found here and convert it using basic syntax:

cat example/test.html | html-to-text > test.txt

This is what I see:

Is this confirmed for you too?

Interesting. Thank you for opening the issue.

We have tab-indented files for tests. But when you have space-indented document - this happens. It might have more than one space at the beginning.

(I suspect most people might just trim the output from html-to-text.)
I might've introduced this bug while trying to address improper space handling in a different place.
Now playing a whack-a-mole with spaces in current dodgy implementation.
Proper implementation requires major refactoring and I want to leave it for another release.

Finally, an update. Major refactoring was unavoidable, but now it all should work fine.

New version is now live in npm.

Thank you for all your work! I look forward to giving the new version a spin.
