Frequently Asked Questions

Does it remove scripts and styles?
Yes — <script> and <style> blocks are deleted with their contents, not just untagged, so no CSS or JavaScript leaks into your text.
Are line breaks and lists preserved?
Paragraphs, headings, list items, and <br> convert to sensible line breaks, with list items prefixed by bullets — structure survives as readable plain text.
Why convert HTML to text for SEO work?
Accurate word counts, keyword density, and readability scores require clean text — tags and code inflate or distort every metric.
