simple and flexible html to markdown converter

Simple html to Markdown ruby gem

We love markdown, cause it is friendly to edit. So we want everything to be markdown

RSpec is our promise

p = HTMLPage.new :contents => '<strong>haha</strong>'
p.markdown.should == '**haha**'
p.contents = '<strong>hehe</strong>'
p.markdown!.should == '**hehe**'

# you can also define your own node parse
p.strong do |node,contents|
  "strong text : **#{contents}**"
end
p.markdown!.should be_include('strong text')
