v0.7.0
a2ca174

Three features in this release, and every one of them answers a long-open feature request on htmlq's issue tracker (mgdm/htmlq #75, #55, #74):

Added

  • -i / --inner — print inner HTML: children only, no outer tag. Composes with -p (pretty) and --color. 
    $ cull '#readme' -i page.html
  • --has-text STRING — keep only matches whose text content contains STRING. Repeatable (all strings must be present); runs before -1/-c/-l, so counts and file lists reflect the filter. Needles match across inline-tag boundaries (--has-text 'price: 42' matches price: <b>42</b>). 
    $ cull 'tr' --has-text FAILED -t report.html

Changed

  • -t / --text now lays text out the way a browser would (innerText-style): <br> and block-element boundaries become newlines, <pre>/<textarea> stay verbatim, script/style/template are skipped, inline whitespace still collapses. Previously block boundaries were dropped entirely (<div>x<p>y</p></div> → xy; now x⏎y). Single-line values in -j templates and --table cells are unchanged.

16 new tests (119 total). The playground runs 0.7.0.
