Marker: Convert PDF to Markdown quickly with high accuracy
I can report that the closest I've came before is with PDFMiner (https://pypi.org/project/pdfminer/) for Python. The benefit of this one is that it retains styling information, so that italics and the like can be retained, at least with some post-processing (I think one might need to convert certain CSS-classes to actual or tags).
The other option I have started looking into is the PDFCPU library for Go. It is a bit more low-level than PDFMiner, but one gets out very well structured info, that seem it might be possible to post-process quite well, for one's particular use case and PDF layouts: https://github.com/pdfcpu/pdfcpu
I also now tried the Marker tool in the OT, and it seems to do a reasonable job. It did intermingle some columns though, at least in some tricky cases such as when there were a round shaped image in between the two columns. One note is that Marker doesn't seem to retain styling like italics though.

PDFcpu snippet for read text of PDF file?
Of course, the best way would be to solve it via the API without CLI. But this doesn't seem to work. https://github.com/pdfcpu/pdfcpu/issues/122

CSS for readability
I'm working with the Mozilla's readability library https://github.com/mozilla/readability to get the "readable" text from articles and now I want to style the extracted text in a readable way.

Building a Serverless Reader View with Lambda and Chrome
Do you remember the Firefox Reader View? It's a feature that removes all unnecessary components like buttons, menus, images, and so on, from a website, focusing on the readable content of the page. The library powering this feature is called Readability.js, which is open source.

Webrecorder: Capture interactive websites and replay them at a later time
I wonder if Firefox "reader mode as a utility" might be a viable alternative for Pinboard like "content oriented" archiving?

Creating an advanced search engine with PostgreSQL
Depending upon the type of content, one might want to look into using the Readability (Browder's reader view) to parse the webpage. It will give you all the useful info without the junk. Then you can put it in the DB as needed.

Btw, readability, is also available in few other languages like Kotlin:
