Run turbohtml from a shell¶

Drive turbohtml from a shell. The turbohtml console script exposes the parse, query, and convert surface over stdin and stdout, for one-off jobs and pipelines.

The `turbohtml` command¶

python -m turbohtml (installed as the turbohtml console script) is a thin front end over the public API, for the same one-off jobs html2text, markdownify, htmlmin, inscriptis, minify-html, charset-normalizer, and courlan expose on the command line. Each subcommand reads one input (a file argument, or stdin when the argument is omitted or -) and writes to stdout, or to the -o FILE given:

Subcommand	Calls
`minify`	`turbohtml.clean.minify()`; `--minify-css` also minifies `<style>` bodies and `style` attributes.
`minify-css`	`turbohtml.clean.minify_css()`
`minify-js`	`turbohtml.clean.minify_js()`
`detect`	`turbohtml.detect.detect()`, printing the encoding name of the input bytes.
`to-markdown`	`turbohtml.Node.to_markdown()` on the parsed input.
`to-text`	`turbohtml.Node.to_text()` on the parsed input.
`sanitize`	`turbohtml.clean.sanitize()` against the default policy.

$ echo '<h1>Title</h1><p>Body</p>' | python -m turbohtml to-markdown
# Title

Body

$ python -m turbohtml minify --minify-css page.html -o page.min.html

$ curl -s https://example.com | python -m turbohtml detect
UTF-8

A subcommand exits 0 on success and 1 with a message on stderr when the library rejects the input (an unparsable script, an empty byte stream to detect) or the input file cannot be read; argument errors exit 2. For policies, renderer options, or streaming, call the API from Python.
