Capabilities

• - Supported input: local .html file or web page URL
• HTML requires extract or crawl (token required) — not supported by INLINECODE2
• MinerU does not have a -f text option; Markdown is the closest plain-text output
• For truly plain text: use extract -f json and read the text fields from JSON output
• Language hint with --language (default: ch, use en for English)

Notes

• - MinerU has no -f text format; use Markdown output or -f json for text fields
• HTML is NOT supported by INLINECODE10
• Output goes to stdout by default; use -o <dir> to save to a file or directory
• All progress/status messages go to stderr; document content goes to stdout
• MinerU is open-source by OpenDataLab (Shanghai AI Lab): https://github.com/opendatalab/MinerU
