- Markdown (default): Plain text markdown from the OCR results
- HTML (--html): Converts markdown to HTML with proper formatting
- JSON (--json): Raw JSON response from the Mistral OCR API
Output Destinations:
- stdout (default): Prints results to standard output
- Single file (-o/--output): Writes to specified file
- Directory (-d/--output-dir): Creates directory structure with main file and images
* For HTML: Creates index.html in the directory
* For Markdown: Creates README.md in the directory

-j, --json Return raw JSON instead of markdown text.
-h, --html Convert markdown to HTML.
-i, --inline-images Include images inline as data URIs (for HTML) or
base64 (for JSON).
-e, --extract-images Extract images as separate files (requires --output-
dir).
