NAME
HTML::FormatText - Format HTML as plaintext
VERSION
version 2.16
SYNOPSIS
use HTML::TreeBuilder;
$tree = HTML::TreeBuilder->new->parse_file("test.html");
use HTML::FormatText;
$formatter = HTML::FormatText->new(leftmargin => 0, rightmargin => 50);
print $formatter->format($tree);
or, more simply:
use HTML::FormatText;
my $string = HTML::FormatText->format_file(
'test.html',
leftmargin => 0, rightmargin => 50
);
DESCRIPTION
HTML::FormatText is a formatter that outputs plain text. All character
attributes (bold/italic/underline) are ignored. Formatting of HTML
tables and forms is not implemented.
HTML::FormatText is built on HTML::Formatter and documentation for that
module applies to this - especially "new" in HTML::Formatter,
"format_file" in HTML::Formatter and "format_string" in
HTML::Formatter.
You might specify the following parameters when constructing the
formatter:
leftmargin (alias lm)
The column of the left margin. The default is 3.
rightmargin (alias rm)
The column of the right margin. The default is 72.
