Usage

1. Install the package:

npm i @wakeful-cloud/html-translator

2. Add the below to your Discord bot:

//Import
import translate from '@wakeful-cloud/html-translator'; //ES Modules
const translate = require('@wakeful-cloud/html-translator'); //CommonJS

//Translate
const html = '<b>Bold text</b> followed with <i>italicized text</i>.';
const {markdown, images} = translate(html); //"**Bold text** followed with *italicized text*."

//Compose the embed (With DiscordJS)
const embed = new MessageEmbed({
  title: 'Translator Test',
  description: markdown,
  color: '#005DAA'
});

//Add image (With DiscordJS)
if (images.length > 0)
{
  embed.image = {
    url: images[0].src
  };
}

//Send (With DiscordJS)
client.send(embed);

See src/test.html and src/test.txt for a more complex example.
