NAME

Email::Simple::Markdown - simple email creation with auto text and html multipart body

VERSION

version 0.7.1

SYNOPSIS

use Email::Simple::Markdown;

my $email = Email::Simple::Markdown->create(
    header => [
        From    => 'me@here.com',
        To      => 'you@there.com',
        Subject => q{Here's a multipart email},
    ],
    body => '[this](http://metacpan.org/search?q=Email::Simple::Markdown) is *amazing*',
);

print $email->as_string;

DESCRIPTION

Email::Simple::Markdown behaves almost exactly like Email::Simple, excepts for one detail: when its method as_string() is invoked, the returned string representation of the email has multipart body with a text/plain element (the original body), and a text/html element, the markdown rendering of the text body.

The markdown convertion is done using Text::MultiMarkdown.

METHODS

Email::Simple::Markdown inherits all the methods if Email::Simple. In addition, it provides one more method: with_markdown.

create( ... )

Behaves like Email::Simple's create(), but accepts the following additional arguments:

markdown_engine => $module

See markdown_engine_set. If not given, defaults to auto.

css => $stylesheet

If provided, the html part of the email will be prepended with the given stylesheet, wrapped by a css tag.

pre_markdown_filter => sub { ... }

See pre_markdown_filter_set.

charset => $charset

The character set supplied to Email::MIME::create(). By default, no character set is passed.

markdown_engine

Returns the markdown engine used by the object.

markdown_engine_set( $module )

Sets the markdown engine to be used by the object. Accepts auto, Text::MultiMarkdown, Text::Markdown, or any module implementing a markdown method.

If not specified or set to auto, the object will use the first markdown module it finds between Text::MultiMarkdown and Text::Markdown.

css

Returns the cascading stylesheet that is applied to the html part of the email.

css_set( $stylesheet )

Sets the cascading stylesheet for the html part of the email to be $stylesheet.

$email->css_set( <<'END_CSS' );
    p   { color: red; }
    pre { border-style: dotted; }
END_CSS

The $stylesheet can also be an array ref, holding key/value pairs where the key is the css selector and the value the attached style. For example, the equivalent call to the one given above would be:

$email->css_set([
    p   => 'color: red;',
    pre => 'border-style: dotted;',
]);

pre_markdown_filter_set( sub{ ... } );

Sets a filter to be run on the body before the markdown transformation is done. The body will be passed as $_ and should be modified in-place.

E.g., to add a header to the email:

$mail->pre_markdown_filter_set(sub {
    s#^#<div id="header">My Corp <img src='..' /></div>#;
});

charset_set( $charset )

Sets the charset to be used by the email.

with_markdown()

Returns an Email::Abstract representation of the email, with its multipart body.
