Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

extracting-metadata scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 106 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Extracting metadata

Use this when the user wants structured metadata out of HTML rather than (or in addition to) the Markdown body — page title, description, language, Open Graph tags, structured data, the heading outline, links, or image references.

Metadata lives in result.metadata and is surfaced on the CLI through --json. On the CLI, metadata extraction is opt-in: pass --extract-metadata alongside --json, otherwise result.metadata comes back empty (document.title is null, headers/links/images/structured_data are []). The library convert() call extracts metadata by default (extract_metadata=True) — that default is a property of the API, not the CLI. There are no per-field extraction flags: --extract-metadata populates all sub-fields below at once.

Get all metadata

html-to-markdown --json --extract-metadata input.html | jq '.metadata'

# Extraction-only (skip the Markdown body)
html-to-markdown --json --extract-metadata --no-content input.html | jq '.metadata'

Metadata sub-fields

{
  "metadata": {
    "document": { "title": "...", "description": "...", "language": "en", "open_graph": {"title": "..."} },
    "headers": [ { "level": 1, "text": "Main Heading" } ],
    "links":   [ { "href": "https://example.com", "link_type": "external" } ],
    "images":  [ { "src": "photo.jpg", "alt": "A photo", "image_type": "external" } ],
    "structured_data": [ /* JSON-LD, Microdata, RDFa blocks */ ]
  }
}

Metadata flag

There is one metadata flag: --extract-metadata. With --json set it populates all sub-fields above (document, headers, links, images, structured_data) under result.metadata — select what you need with jq.

Flag Effect
--extract-metadata With --json: populate result.metadata. In plain-text mode (no --json): prepend title + meta tags as a YAML frontmatter block (----delimited) at the top of the Markdown output
# Pull just the document-level metadata and the heading outline
html-to-markdown --json --extract-metadata --no-content input.html \
  | jq '{title: .metadata.document.title, lang: .metadata.document.language, outline: [.metadata.headers[].text]}'

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
