List Formatting

I downloaded this script this morning and it is saving me SO much time. However there is an issue with how lists are generated.

return {"type": list_type, "children": children} needs to be updated to return {"listType": list_type, "type": "list", "children": children}.

Additionally I made a minor tweak so it simply returns the value to the clipboard rather than displaying it within the terminal

I added import subprocess at the top

And adjusted the final lines to

json_data = html_to_json(html_input)

print('JSON data copied to clipboard')
subprocess.run("pbcopy", text=True, input=json_data)

Finally, on macOS users will need to install BeautifulSoup with python -m pip install beautifulsoup4 --break-system-packages

Thanks for that list fix, I applied it to main.

Regarding copying to clipboard: pbcopy is OS-specific and doesn't exist for Linux, so I wouldn't want to add an OS dependency to an otherwise OS-independent script. Especially since you can just pipe the script's output to pbcopy or, on Linux, xclip.

I also wouldn't recommend installing Python packages with the --break-system-packages option, as that might break system utilities that rely on specific package versions. It's much safer to create a virtual env with python3 -m venv /path/to/new/virtual/environment and then install all required packages to that environment and run the script within the environment.
