HTML::FormatText - Format HTML as plaintext
version 2.11
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 );
HTML::FormatText is a formatter that outputs plain latin1 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:
