.epilogue(`The --low-confidence option determines what should be done for documents where Readability can't tell what the core content is:
no-op When unsure, don't touch the HTML, output as-is. This is incompatible with the --properties option.
force Process the document even when unsure (may produce really bad output).
exit When unsure, exit with an error.
Default value is "no-op".
The --properties option accepts a comma-separated list of values (with no spaces in-between). Suitable values are:
html-title Outputs the article's title, wrapped in an
tag.
title Outputs the title in the format "Title: $TITLE".
excerpt Article description, or short excerpt from the content, in the format "Excerpt: $EXCERPT"
byline Author metadata, in the format "Author: $AUTHOR"
length Length of the article in characters, in the format "Length: $LENGTH"
dir Content direction, is either "Direction: ltr" or "Direction: rtl"
html-content Outputs the article's main content as HTML.
text-content Outputs the article's main content as plain text.
Text-content and Html-content are mutually exclusive, and are always printed last.
Default value is "html-title,html-content".`)
