title: Use flexmark-java to clean markdown
body: <p>Within a Java application, I would need to convert marked-down text into simple plain text instead of html (for example dropping all links addresses, bold and italic markers). </p>
  
  <p>Which is the best way to do this? I was thinking using a markdown library like <a href="https://github.com/vsch/flexmark-java" rel="nofollow noreferrer">fleaxmark</a>. But I cant find this feature at first sight. Is it there? Are there other better alternatives?</p>
