NAME

HTML::FormatText::Zen - format HTML as plain text using zen

SYNOPSIS

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

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

DESCRIPTION

HTML::FormatText::Zen turns HTML into plain text using the zen program.

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

See HTML::FormatExternal for the formatting functions. But as of zen version 0.2.3 the options have no effect. Input charset is always latin-1, output is latin-1, and dump width is 80 columns with no left margin.
