@robinpath/html

Parse, extract, escape, and manipulate HTML content using regex-based processing

Why use this module?

The html module lets you:

• Remove all HTML tags from a string, returning plain text
• Extract the text content of all matching tags by tag name
• Extract all links (href and text) from anchor tags
• Extract all image sources and alt text from img tags
• Extract attribute values from all matching tags

All functions are callable directly from RobinPath scripts with a simple, consistent API.
