  * `hideLinkHrefIfSameAsText` by default links are translated the following `<a href='link'>text</a>` => becomes => `text [link]`. If this option is set to true and `link` and `text` are the same, `[link]` will be hidden and only `text` visible.
  * `ignoreHref` ignore all document links if `true`.
  * `ignoreImage` ignore all document images if `true`.
+ * `ignoreVideo` ignore all document videos if `true`.
  * `preserveNewlines` by default, any newlines `\n` in a block of text will be removed. If `true`, these newlines will not be removed.
  * `decodeOptions` defines the text decoding options given to `he.decode`. For more informations see the [he](https://github.com/mathiasbynens/he) module.
  * `uppercaseHeadings` by default, headings (`<h1>`, `<h2>`, etc) are uppercased. Set to `false` to leave headings as they are.
