You can find the mozilla repository here : https://github.com/mozilla/readability In this repository you can find an example of Readability.js usage under node.js in order to parse .html file.

• First, install node dependencies and Readability.js (it's not available under npm, then use github under npm to get it):

npm install --save-dev jsdom github:mozilla/readability

• Then, use the script in command line:

node makeHTMLFileReadable.js /path/to/yourfile.html /path/to/yourparsedfile.html

To understand how it works, look at the script.

You can see the result of a wikipedia page transformation under result.html.
