HTML cleaner and beautifier

npm npm Libraries.io dependency status for GitHub repo Snyk Vulnerabilities for GitHub Repo

Usage

In a script

const cleaner = require('clean-html');
const fs = require('fs');

fs.readFile('foo.html', 'utf8', (err, input) => {
    cleaner.clean(input, output => console.log(output));
});

Options can be provided like so:

const options = {
    'break-around-comments': false,
    'decode-entities': true,
    'remove-tags': ['b', 'i', 'center', 'font'],
    'wrap': 80
};

cleaner.clean(input, options, output => {...});

From the command line

If installed globally, just run clean-html. Otherwise, run npx clean-html.

Input can be piped from stdin:

$ echo '<h1>Hello, World!</h1>' | clean-html
$ cat foo.html | clean-html

Or you can provide a filename as the first argument:

$ clean-html foo.html

Output can be redirected to another file:

$ clean-html foo.html > bar.html

Or you can edit the file in place:

$ clean-html foo.html --in-place

Other options can be provided like so:

$ clean-html foo.html \
    --break-around-comments \
    --decode-entities false \
    --remove-tags b,i,center,font \
    --wrap 80
