plain_text

• Text analysis and NLP tasks

• Content summarization

• Simple content extraction

Example output:

markdown

Converts HTML to markdown format, preserving headings, links, and basic formatting. Best for:

• Documentation extraction

• Content migration

• LLM-friendly input

• Human-readable output

Example output:

# Latest AI Trends in 2025

The artificial intelligence landscape has evolved dramatically...

## Key Developments
- Generative AI advances
- Autonomous systems

simplified_html

Strips unnecessary attributes and elements while maintaining HTML structure. Best for:

• Web scraping with structure preservation

• Custom parsing pipelines

• Lightweight HTML processing

Example output:

<h1>Latest AI Trends in 2025</h1>
<p>The artificial intelligence landscape...</p>
<ul>
<li>Generative AI advances</li>
<li>Autonomous systems</li>
</ul>
