### Initial information
This project was forked from [github.com/jaytaylor/html2text](https://github.com/jaytaylor/html2text) in order to use another clean bom library due the original one has no license.
### Converts HTML into text
## Introduction
Ensure your emails are readable by all!
Turns HTML into raw text, useful for sending fancy HTML emails with a equivalently nicely formatted TXT document as a fallback (e.g. for people who don't allow HTML emails or have other display issues).
html2text is a simple golang package for rendering HTML into plaintext.
There are still lots of improvements to be had, but FWIW this has worked fine for my [basic] HTML-2-text needs.
It requires go 1.x or newer ;)
## Download the package
```bash
go get github.com/cpanato/html2text
```
## Example usage
```go
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/cpanato/html2text"
)
func main() {
inputHtml := `
My Mega Service
`
text, err := html2text.FromString(inputHtml)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
fmt.Println(text)
}
```
Output:
```
Mega Service ( http://mymegaservice.com/ )
