Formatter

You can choose between 3 formatters: TextFormatter, HtmlFormatter and ChordProFormatter.

const formatter = new HtmlFormatter();
const songText = formatter.format(song);

The formatters have default settings. You can change pass the settings in the formatter's constructor or change the settings later. Here is an example:

settings.showChords = false;
const formatter = new HtmlFormatter(settings);

or simply

const formatter = new HtmlFormatter(settings);
formatter.settings.showChords = false;

    {eot}
