This should work if you read the file yourself and pass the string input to the library.

So the answer to "can we use" is - yes, you can. If you expect the library to read file based on a provided filesystem path or URL, then the answer is - no, the library won't interact with your filesystem or URL location.

Alternatively, you can use a DOM parser that is capable of stream parsing. This actually can save some resources. You can then pass the DOM to Turndown (instead of string).
