+# {{.Name}} - HTML to Markdown converter
+
+The `{{.Name}}` makes use of `github.com/JohannesKaufmann/html-to-markdown`
+to convert HTML into Markdown, which is using an [HTML Parser](https://github.com/PuerkitoBio/goquery) to avoid the use of `regexp` as much as possible, which can prevent some [weird cases](https://stackoverflow.com/a/1732454) and allows it to be used for cases where the input is totally unknown.

+
+
+# Usage
+
+### $ {{exec "html2md" | color "sh"}}
+
+# Examples
+
+## Simplest form
+
+```md
+$ html2md -i https://github.com/suntong/html2md | head -3
+[Skip to content](#start-of-content)
+
+[Homepage](https://github.com/)
+```
+
+## Using goquery
+
+The most useful feature is to use and pass a [goquery](https://github.com/PuerkitoBio/goquery) selection to filter for the content you want.
+
+```md
+$ {{.Name}} -i https://github.com/JohannesKaufmann/html-to-markdown -s "div.BorderGrid-row.hide-sm.hide-md > div"
+```
+
+
+## The options and plugins
+
+Works as expected:
+
+```sh
+$ echo '<strong>Bold Text</strong>' | html2md -i
+**Bold Text**
+
+$ echo '<strong>Bold Text</strong>' | html2md -i --opt-strong-delimiter="__"
+__Bold Text__
+
+
+$ echo '<ul><li><input type=checkbox checked>Checked!</li><li><input type=checkbox>Check Me!</li></ul>' | html2md -i -G
+- [x] Checked!
+- [ ] Check Me!
+
+$ echo 'Only <del>blue ones</del> <s> left</s>' | html2md -i --plugin-strikethrough
+Only ~blue ones~ ~left~
+```
+
+# Debian package
+
+Will be available once `github.com/JohannesKaufmann/html-to-markdown` has a release version.
+
+# Install Source
+
+To install the source code instead:
+
+```
+go get github.com/suntong/{{.Name}}
+```
