Converted a fresh 3-section landing page and scored it against a hand-written Elementor JSON of the same page using the repo's own verifier: the converter came back with 0 issues, the hand-built version with 16 — inherited var(--muted) text colours, hero max-widths and every margin-bottom silently lost. It also resolved var(--brand) into hashed page-unique colour globals, derived a button hover shade and emitted tablet/mobile flex breakpoints that nobody writes by hand. Two documentation faults cost it: the invocation printed in SKILL.md dies with ModuleNotFoundError when run from the install directory (the package resolves only from the parent dir), and --upload plus the referenced playsand/cleanup_kit.sh depend on a docker sandbox that is not in the repo, so image upload silently no-ops. A page whose content is not inside semantic <section> tags converted to an empty layout.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 4/5
- Triggers reliably 5/5
- Output vs. baseline 8/10
- Docs & honesty 2/5
What HTML2Elementor does
A local Python converter that turns an HTML page with its CSS into an Elementor _elementor_data payload plus a kit file of custom colour and typography globals, then verifies the result node-by-node against the source. Triggers when you paste or point at HTML and want it as an Elementor page in WordPress: "convert this landing to Elementor", "Elementor JSON from this markup", "bring this Tailwind mockup into WordPress". Handles CSS custom properties, grid detection, per-side borders and absolute positioning that hand-written Elementor JSON usually loses.
