@kingreatwill yeah true, thats still missing. Thanks for reporting. I will add that on the weekend.

For now, you can add a new rule for yourself. See examples/add_rule.

Something like that (although I haven't tested it yet):

	newline := md.Rule{
		Filter: []string{"br"}, // register <br>
		Replacement: func(content string, selec *goquery.Selection, opt *md.Options) *string {
			return md.String("\n\n") // return markdown
		},
	}

	conv := md.NewConverter("", true, nil)
	conv.AddRules(newline)

Thank you! " ." How to deal with it.

[JohannesKaufmann]

The escape character ("\") is done because otherwise there would be many side effects from characters that are falsely interpreted as markdown. See issue 7. Thats why the library is escaping any "markdown like" content inside the original HTML content so that final markdown is valid.

But I'm thinking about providing an option to disable that as many don't like it 🤷‍♂️

But the escaping does no harm to how its rendered. It basically just disables the markdown:

(with escaping)

1\. xxx
2\. xxxx
3\. xxx

![](xxx)
4\. golang
a. xx
b. xx

1. xxx
2. xxxx
3. xxx

4. golang
a. xx
b. xx

---

(without escaping)

1. xxx
2. xxxx
3. xxx

![](xxx)
4. golang
a. xx
b. xx

1. xxx
2. xxxx
3. xxx

4. golang
a. xx
b. xx

var html =jmap –histo[:live]
out

jmap –histo\$&:live\$&

want

jmap –histo[:live]

How to keep it as it is?

Thank you!

I just merged the changes. You should be able to update the library with go get -u github.com/JohannesKaufmann/html-to-markdown

1. <br> should now be parsed without any extra rules
2. the escaping for links ("[" and "]") was disabled and a test case was added

@kingreatwill please let me know if you find any other HTML snippets that don't output the correct result!

[kingreatwill]

Thank you very much!
