Whether you are a developer, content scraper, or simply someone interacting with web data, this utility simplifies the process of navigating and manipulating HTML structures.

The installation is convenient, with support for various package managers such as Cargo, FreeBSD pkg, Homebrew, and Scoop. Once set up, htmlq opens up a world of possibilities for extracting data, cleaning up HTML, and even formatting it for better readability.
