### Config(Optional)：

#### options:

<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th align="center">name</th>
<th align="center">date type</th>
<th align="center">default value</th>
<th align="center">description</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td align="center">skipTags</td>
<td align="center">Array</td>
<td align="left"><pre>
<code>[
  'div',
  'html',
  'body',
  'nav',
  'section',
  'footer',
  'main',
  'aside',
  'article',
  'header'
]</code></pre></td>
<td align="center">Declare which tags need to skip</td>

<td align="center">renderCustomTags</td>
<td align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;<code>Boolean</code> <br>|<code>'SKIP'</code> <br>|<code>'EMPTY'</code> <br>|<code>'IGNORE'</code></td>
<td align="center">
<code>true</code></td>
<td align="left">Define how to render not valida HTML tags
<ul>
<li><code>true</code>: render all custom tags</li>
<li><code>false | SKIP</code>: render as <code>skipTags</code></li>
<li><code>EMPTY</code>: render as <code>emptyTags</code></li>
<li><code>IGNORE</code>: render as <code>ignoreTags</code></li>
</ul>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center">tagListener</td>
<td align="left">Function</td>
<td align="center">
(tagName: String, props: <a href="#TagListenerProps">TagListenerProps</a>): <a href="#TagListenerReturnProps">TagListenerReturnProps</a> => props
</td>
<td align="left">Custom the tag props</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

> Priority：skipTags > emptyTags > ignoreTags > aliasTags

Example:

```javascript
html2md('<><b><i>abc</i></b></>', { ignoreTags: [''] })
// ''

html2md('<><b><i>abc</i></b></>', { skipTags: [''] })
// ***abc***

html2md('<><b><i>abc</i></b></>', { emptyTags: [''] })
// abc

html2md('<><b><i>abc</i></b></>', {
  skipTags: [''],
  aliasTags: { b: 'ul', i: 'li' },
})
// *  abc

html2md('<test><b><i>abc</i></b></test>', { renderCustomTags: 'SKIP' })
// ***abc***
```

#### force(Boolean)(Default value is false)

| value |                            description                            |
| :---: | :---------------------------------------------------------------: |
| true  |                 Overwrite by your custom options                  |
| false | Use `Object.assign` to combine custom options and default options |

Example：

```javascript
// The default skipTags value is ['div','html','body']

// ex1：
html2md('<div><b><i>abc</i></b></div>', { skipTags: ['b'] }, false)
// skipTags value become ['div','html','body','b']

// ex2：
html2md('<div><b><i>abc</i></b></div>', { skipTags: ['b'] }, true)
// skipTags value become ['b']
```
