NAME HTML::FormatText::WithLinks::AndTables - Converts HTML to Text with tables intact VERSION Version 0.01 SYNOPSIS use HTML::FormatText::WithLinks::AndTables; my $text = HTML::FormatText::WithLinks::AndTables->convert($html); Or optionally... my $conf = { # same as HTML::FormatText excepting below cellpadding => 2, # defaults to 1 no_rowspacing => 1, # bool, suppress vertical space between table rows }; my $text = HTML::FormatText::WithLinks::AndTables->convert($html, $conf); DESCRIPTION This module was inspired by HTML::FormatText::WithLinks which has proven to be a useful `lynx -dump` work-alike. However one frustration was that no other HTML converters I came across had the ability to deal affectively with HTML s. This module can in a rudimentary sense do so. The aim was to provide facility to take a simple HTML based email template, and to also convert it to text with the
structure intact for inclusion as "multipart/alternative" content. Further, it will preserve both the formatting specified by the
tag's "align" attribute, and will also preserve multiline text inside of a element provided it is broken using
tags. EXPORT None by default. METHODS convert EXAMPLE Given the HTML below ...
Name: Mr. Foo Bar
Address: #1-276 Quux Lane,
Schenectady, NY, USA,
12345
Email: foo@bar.baz
... the (default) return value of convert() will be as follows. Name: Mr. Foo Bar Address: #1-276 Quux Lane, Schenectady, NY, USA, 12345 Email: [1]foo@bar.baz 1. mailto:foo@bar.baz SEE ALSO HTML::FormatText::WithLinks HTML::TreeBuilder CAVEATS * This does not handle 		elements whatsoever! * It assumes a fixed width font for display of resulting text. * It doesn't work well on nested s or other nested blocks within
s.
