If you accept running Java, the Apache Tika is extremely good at parsing content (https://tika.apache.org/). - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

Apache Tika can spit out text from lots of formats. I've used it with grep (or rg) to make a small scale searching of local folders. Tika does a really good job at OCR for finding if text is in a file. Source: about 1 year ago

Sphinx is incredibly powerful and can offer a table of contents, automatic links for functions, automatic code highlighting using Pygments, and other capabilities using built-in or third-party extensions. If you'd like to use (a flavor of) Markdown with Sphinx, you can do so using MyST-parser - a Sphinx and Docutils extension to parse MyST. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

I access enough machines (some of which I don't admin, or are stripped down to minimal packages lists, so I can't install additional software) so sticking with less means I don't have to think about i. If I need, I'll put something like pygments in the pipeline to colorize things, and optionally use -R with less such as … | pygments | less -R. Source: over 1 year ago
