Turndown is a JavaScript utility that converts HTML to Markdown. In this tutorial, we'll guide you through the process of installing Turndown on FreeBSD Latest.
Before we begin, make sure your FreeBSD system is up-to-date by running the following command:
sudo pkg update && sudo pkg upgrade
Also, ensure that you have Node.js and npm (Node Package Manager) installed on your system. To verify whether Node.js and npm have been installed on your system, run the following commands:
node -v
npm -v
If Node.js and npm are not installed, you can install them as follows:
sudo pkg install node npm
Now that we have all the prerequisites, we can proceed to install Turndown. Here are the steps to follow:
Open a terminal window on your FreeBSD system.
Navigate to the directory where you'd like to install Turndown.
Run the following command to install Turndown:
npm install turndown
This will download and install Turndown and its dependencies.
To verify that Turndown has been installed correctly, you can create a simple JavaScript file that uses Turndown to convert HTML to Markdown.
Open a text editor and create a new file called convert.js.
Paste the following code into the file:
const TurndownService = require('turndown')
const turndownService = new TurndownService()
const html = '<h1>Hello World</h1>'
const markdown = turndownService.turndown(html)
console.log(markdown)
This script creates a new instance of the TurndownService object, converts the HTML string <h1>Hello World</h1> to Markdown, and logs the output to the console.
Save the file.
In your terminal, navigate to the directory where you saved convert.js.
Run the following command to execute the script:
node convert.js
The script should output the following Markdown text:
Hello World
