NAME

Posy::Plugin::TextToHTML - Posy plugin to convert plain text files to HTML

VERSION

This describes version 0.04 of Posy::Plugin::TextToHTML.

SYNOPSIS

@plugins = qw(Posy::Core Posy::Plugin::TextToHTML);

DESCRIPTION

This uses the HTML::TextToHTML module (as used by the txt2html script) to convert the body of an entry from text into HTML. This checks the extension of the entry file, and if it is 'txt', then it will convert the entry.

This basically replaces the 'parse_entry' method, and calls the parent method for anything other than text.

Configuration

This expects configuration settings in the $self->{config} hash, which, in the default Posy setup, can be defined in the main "config" file in the data directory.

txt2html_options

Set the options for the text-to-HTML processing. See HTML::TextToHTML for details. Certain options are meaningless in this context and will be ignored, since this is not being processed as a full file, but as just body content. Therefore options such as 'append_file', 'prepend_file' and 'append_head' will not work, as well as options which refer to doing things to the headers. But that's okay, since you can do things like that with flavours and other plugins.

Give the options as one long space-separated string, with each option name followed by its value. For example:

txt2html_options: xhtml 1 escape_HTML_chars 0 make_anchors 0
