It's a text based webbrowser for the comandline

also there are tools that convert html to markdown which may be useful when we have markdown support in Delta

Our markdown support will have no headers. We will only support a subset of markdown.

I made a feature proposal to propose the markdown reader in dc: https://support.delta.chat/t/open-markdown-files/466 Until then we can implement it in ZHV. https://github.com/Simon-Laux/ZHV/issues/6

@Simon-Laux this is already(time ago sorry the late reply) possible with command /url (simplebot_webgrabber plugin) it returns a text representation of a site, that also happens to be markdown!!! so in a future this could be displayed nicely in Delta Chat
