NAME
HTML::FormatText::Netrik - format HTML as plain text using netrik
SYNOPSIS
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);DESCRIPTION
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).
BUGS
netrik version 1.16.1 initializes curses even when doing just a --dump, so if you have a TERM environment variable then it must be a terminal type known to curses (terminfo(5)). If you have no TERM setting then HTML::FormatText::Netrik runs netrik with TERM=dumb so the code here works in a bare environment. (But no attempt is made here to validate or correct an existing TERM value.)
