HTML Renderer

Overview

An extensible HTML renderer.

Comes with two built-in renderers:

• HTMLRenderer::ANSI (outputs colored text to the termnial)
• HTMLRenderer::Text (outputs plain text)

Usage

Render to ANSI:

ansi_text = HTMLRenderer::ANSI.render("<b>hello html</b>")
ansi_text = HTMLRenderer::ANSI.render(open("file.html"))

Render to plain text:

plain_text = HTMLRenderer::Text.render(open("file.html"))

Extending it

The API design uses the same philosophy as RedCarpet.

To create a new renderer, subclass HTMLRenderer::Base, then add a method to handle each type of element. Whatever the method returns is output by the renderer.

Example renderer: HTMLRenderer::ANSI
