## Overview
|
|
|
|
The `HTMLToDocument` component converts HTML files into documents. It can be used in an indexing pipeline to index the contents of an HTML file into a Document Store or even in a querying pipeline after the [`LinkContentFetcher`](../fetchers/linkcontentfetcher.mdx). The `HTMLToDocument` component takes a list of HTML file paths or [`ByteStream`](../../concepts/data-classes.mdx#bytestream) objects as input and converts the files to a list of documents. Optionally, you can attach metadata to the documents through the `meta` input parameter.
|
|
|
|
When you initialize the component, you can optionally set `extraction_kwargs`, a dictionary containing keyword arguments to customize the extraction process. These are passed to the underlying Trafilatura `extract` function. For the full list of available arguments, see the [Trafilatura documentation](https://trafilatura.readthedocs.io/en/latest/corefunctions.html#extract).

## Usage
|
|
|
|
### On its own
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from pathlib import Path
|
|
from haystack.components.converters import HTMLToDocument
|
|
|
|
converter = HTMLToDocument()
|
|
|
|
docs = converter.run(sources=[Path("saved_page.html")])
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### In a pipeline
|
|
|
|
Here's an example of an indexing pipeline that writes the contents of an HTML file into an `InMemoryDocumentStore`:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from haystack import Pipeline
|
|
from haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore
|
|
from haystack.components.converters import HTMLToDocument
|
|
from haystack.components.preprocessors import DocumentCleaner
|
|
from haystack.components.preprocessors import DocumentSplitter
|
|
from haystack.components.writers import DocumentWriter
|
|
|
|
document_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()
|
|
|
|
pipeline = Pipeline()
|
|
pipeline.add_component("converter", HTMLToDocument())
|
|
pipeline.add_component("cleaner", DocumentCleaner())
|
|
pipeline.add_component("splitter", DocumentSplitter(split_by="sentence", split_length=5))
|
|
pipeline.add_component("writer", DocumentWriter(document_store=document_store))
|
|
pipeline.connect("converter", "cleaner")
|
|
pipeline.connect("cleaner", "splitter")
|
|
pipeline.connect("splitter", "writer")
|
|
|
|
pipeline.run({"converter": {"sources": file_names}})
|
|
```
