# html2gmi
A command line application to convert HTML to GMI (Gemini text/gemini), written in Go.
A simple wrapper around the Go library https://github.com/LukeEmmet/html2gemini
## Usage
```
html2gmi
-c, --citationStart int Start citations from this index (default 1)
-i, --input string Input path. Otherwise uses stdin
-l, --linkEmitFrequency int Emit gathered links through the document after this number of paragraphs (default 2)
-o, --output string Output path. Otherwise uses stdout
-v, --version Find out what version of html2gmi you're running
```
## Remarks
linkEmitFrequency - this flag determines the frequency of the output of link lists. For example 1 means any links from the previous paragraph are emitted after each paragraph. 2, would mean they are emitted every two paragraphs and so on. Any gathered links are always emitted before a new heading.
citationStart - this flag determines the start index of the links. By default this is 1, so the first link is labelled "[1]", but you can set this as required.
You can pipe content in from other applications, for example utilities that download HTML from the web.
To strip out cruft, you can use an HTML sanitiser before passing the content to this app.
