NAME

HTML::Element::Convert - Monkeypatch content conversion methods into HTML::Element

VERSION

Version 0.10

SYNOPSIS

use HTML::TreeBulder;
use HTML::Element::Convert;

my $tree = HTML::TreeBuilder->new_from_content($html);

# Search for some JSON-encoded meta-data embedded in the document and extract it:
my $element = $tree->look_down(...);
my $hash = $element->extract_content;

# This time extract the YAML data and delete the containing element from the tree:
$element = $tree->look_down(...);
$hash = $element->pull_content;

# Convert the content of any <div> with a 'lang="markdown"' attribute into HTML:
$tree->convert_content;
$element->convert_content

Look for every div below $element containing a lang attribute. If it recognizes lang, it will convert and replace the div's content.

Currently, only markdown is supported.

$content = $element->extract_content([TYPE])

Extract and parse the content of $element. If TYPE is given, then this method will assume the content is of the given type, and try to parse it accordingly. Otherwise it will use the lang attribute of $element to detemine the type.

$content = $element->pull_content([TYPE])

Like extract_content, extract and parse the content of $element. It will also delete $element from the tree.
