HTML to Markdown Converter

This project converts HTML files to Markdown format using the OpenAI API. It can process individual files or entire directories, with an option for recursive processing.

Features

• Convert HTML files to Markdown
• Process individual files or entire directories
• Optional recursive directory processing
• Uses OpenAI's GPT model for intelligent conversion
• Preserves important content structure while ignoring non-essential elements

Requirements

• Python 3.6+

Installation

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/et0x/ai-html-to-markdown.git
   cd ai-html-to-markdown
   

2. Install the required packages:

   # Create a virtual environment if you want to
   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

3. Set up your OpenAI API key as an environment variable:

   export OPENAI_API_KEY='your-api-key-here'
   

Usage

Run the script from the command line:

python main.py path/to/html/files -r -o path/to/output

How it works

1. The script reads HTML content from the input file(s).
2. It sends the HTML content to the OpenAI API, requesting a conversion to Markdown.
3. The API returns the converted Markdown content.
4. The script writes the Markdown content to the specified output directory.
