NAME
HTML::FormatText::Elinks - format HTML as plain text using elinks
SYNOPSIS
use HTML::FormatText::Elinks;
$text = HTML::FormatText::Elinks->format_file ($filename);
$text = HTML::FormatText::Elinks->format_string ($html_string);
$formatter = HTML::FormatText::Elinks->new (rightmargin => 60);
$tree = HTML::TreeBuilder->new_from_file ($filename);
$text = $formatter->format ($tree);DESCRIPTION
HTML::FormatText::Elinks turns HTML into plain text using the elinks program.
The module interface is compatible with formatters like HTML::FormatText, but all parsing etc is done by elinks.
See HTML::FormatExternal for the formatting functions and options, all of which are supported by HTML::FormatText::Elinks with the following caveats.
input_charset-
As of Elinks 0.12pre2 (Oct 2008) has various unibyte input charsets but the only multibyte input charset accepted is utf-8. You could recode others to utf-8 if necessary (but this module doesn't attempt to do that automatically).
Elinks can be a little picky about its charset names. This module attempts to ease that by for instance turning "latin-1" (not accepted) into "latin1" (which is accepted). A full name "ISO-8859-1" etc is accepted too.
