Overview

"HTML::FormatText::Zen" turns HTML into plain text using the "zen" program.

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

See "HTML::FormatExternal" for the formatting functions. The margins options work but nothing else.

"rightmargin"

As of zen version 0.2.3 there is no right margin option.

"input_charset", "output_charset"

As of zen version 0.2.3 the input charset is always latin-1 and output is always latin-1. Entities in the input seem to be truncated to 8-bits for the output.
