HTML::FormatText::Netrik3pm

Usage

 use HTML::FormatText::Netrik;
 $text = HTML::FormatText::Netrik->format_file ($filename);
 $text = HTML::FormatText::Netrik->format_string ($html_string);
 $formatter = HTML::FormatText::Netrik->new;
 $tree = HTML::TreeBuilder->new_from_file ($filename);
 $text = $formatter->format ($tree);

Overview

"HTML::FormatText::Netrik" turns HTML into plain text using the "netrik" program.

The module interface is compatible with formatters like "HTML::FormatText", but all parsing etc is done by netrik.

"netrik" normally emits colour escape sequences but that is disabled here (its "--bw" option) to get plain text.

See "HTML::FormatExternal" for the formatting functions and options, with the following caveats,

"input_charset", "output_charset"

These charset overrides have no effect. Input might be single-byte only, and output probably follows the input (as of netrik 1.15.7).
