That preserves unusual page structures and avoids dropping content from sites that use layout tags in custom ways. Use `stripLayout` only when your built HTML uses normal layout elements for repeated page interface such as navigation, sidebars, search, headers, footers, or table-of-contents panels. ```txt interface OpenNavContentExtractionOptions { readonly stripLayout?: boolean;} ``` ## `stripLayout` [Section titled “stripLayout”](#striplayout) Optional. Defaults to `false`. When `stripLayout` is `true`, OpenNav still starts from the whole HTML ``. It does not choose a `
