**reader-view-cli** takes any HTML page and strips out unnecessary bloat by using [Mozilla's Readability library](https://github.com/mozilla/readability). As a result, you get a web page which contains only the core content and nothing more. The resulting HTML is suitable for terminal browsers, text readers, or perhaps other use-cases.

## Usage
`readable [SOURCE] [options]`
`readable [options] -- [SOURCE]`
(where SOURCE is a file, an http(s) URL, or '-' for standard input)
It's a good idea to supply the --url parameter when piping input, otherwise `readable` won't know the document's URL, and things like relative links won't work.
