  https://github.com/aaronsw/html2text/ might interest you.  It converts
  (relatively) sane HTML into Markdown.

  I put html2text.py into $HOME/lib and use this to call it:

    #!/bin/sh
    #<html2mkd: convert reasonable HTML to Markdown
    exec /usr/bin/env python $HOME/lib/html2text.py ${1+"$@"}
    exit 1
