Extractor

The format-specific component that reads metadata out of a document.

manni meta has one extractor per input format: Markdown, MDX, AsciiDoc, reStructuredText, XML, and HTML. The extractor is the only part of manni meta that knows about a file’s format. Once it produces metadata, validation and reporting work the same for every format. You can force a specific extractor with --as, which is required when reading from stdin. See Supported formats.
