Re: [Python-markdown-discuss] How do I get the raw text from a file?

[Waylan L. <wa...@gm...>]

You might what to check out https://github.com/mrcoles/readmd

Not sure it it will do what you want. Another option would be to run
your text through markdown, then run markdown's output through a HTML
parser. Then use the parse tree's "return text only feature" to get
raw text with no markup. I'd start with either the html5lib [1] or
lxml [2] html parsers. I prefer lxml, but it is a C lib and not so
easy to install. But once you get it working, it is worth the effort.

[2]: http://lxml.de/

Hope that helps.
