HTML Options

HTML options allow you to configure how web pages and HTML documents are processed during parsing.

Available Options

Make All Elements Visible

Force hidden elements to be visible during parsing. This ensures that content hidden by CSS or JavaScript is still extracted.

{
  "input_options": {
    "html": {
      "make_all_elements_visible": true
    }
  }
}

Remove Navigation Elements

Remove navigation menus, breadcrumbs, and similar navigational elements that typically don’t contain the main content.

{
  "input_options": {
    "html": {
      "remove_navigation_elements": true
    }
  }
}

Remove Fixed Elements

Remove fixed-position elements like sticky headers, sidebars, and floating elements that may interfere with content extraction.

{
  "input_options": {
    "html": {
      "remove_fixed_elements": true
    }
  }
}

Combined Configuration

You can combine multiple HTML options:

{
  "input_options": {
    "html": {
      "make_all_elements_visible": true,
      "remove_navigation_elements": true,
      "remove_fixed_elements": true
    }
  }
}
