NAME

HTML::FormatText::Vilistextum - format HTML as plain text using vilistextum

SYNOPSIS

use HTML::FormatText::Vilistextum;
$text = HTML::FormatText::Vilistextum->format_file ($filename);
$text = HTML::FormatText::Vilistextum->format_string ($html_string);

$formatter = HTML::FormatText::Vilistextum->new;
$tree = HTML::TreeBuilder->new_from_file ($filename);
$text = $formatter->format ($tree);

DESCRIPTION

HTML::FormatText::Vilistextum turns HTML into plain text using the vilistextum program.

http://bhaak.net/vilistextum/

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

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

input_charset

There's no input_charset option yet. (vilistextum has a -y option but it might be only a default, with the document <meta> taking precedence, whereas the intention of input_charset is to override the document.)

output_charset

Charset "UTF-8" can be given for UTF-8 output. This passes -u to vilistextum, which is only available if built with --enable-multibyte (as of its version 2.6.9).
