NAME

Convert::SimpleHtml2Text — Converts an HTML document to text.

SYNOPSIS

EXPORTS

Default: simpleHtmlToText

REQUIRES

DESCRIPTION

Converts an HTML document to text by stripping out all formatting tags and doing simple conversions. Multiple blanks are all removed on each line. Leading and trailing blanks are removed on each line. Multiple line breaks are removed.

Example: This block of HTML is an abbreviated version of Google’s search page, a refreshingly simple web page.

 html> head> meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> title>Googletitle> head> body bgcolor=#ffffff text=#000000 link=#0000cc vlink=#551a8b alink=#ff0000 onLoad=sf()> br> form action="/search" name=f> table cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0> tr> input type=submit value="I'm Feeling Lucky" name=btnI> td> td valign=top nowrap>  • Advanced Search  • Preferences  • Language Tools td> tr>  p> font size=-2>©2002 Googlefont> font size=-2>- Searching 3,083,324,652 web pagesfont> body> html> 

Running that piece of HTML through the simpleHtmlToText function results in:

 Google • Advanced Search • Preferences • Language Tools ©2002 Google - Searching 3,083,324,652 web pages 

The optional keepImages flag allows you to retain a little bit of information about a graphic file—the base file name. With this input:

   
Some text here.
    

. assuming you have set the keepImages flag to true.

FUNCTIONS

simpleHtmlToText(text, keepImages)

simpleHtmlToText(text)

Convert an HTML document (represented by a string) into text, optionally keeping the image references. If keepImages is true, then image references will be condensed and retained. For example, will be replaced by [#hello.gif#] . The «[# #]» brackets are used for easy selection of images by other applications.

text — string; a string representing the HTML document.

keepImages — optional; a boolean indicating to keep image file names in output.

A string representing the text of the HTML document.

HTML::Formatter — Base class for HTML formatters

use HTML::FormatSomething; my $infile = "whatever.html"; my $outfile = "whatever.file"; open OUT, ">$outfile" or die "Can't write-open $outfile: $!\n"; print OUT HTML::FormatSomething->format_file( $infile, 'option1' => 'value1', 'option2' => 'value2', . ); close(OUT);

HTML::Formatter is a base class for classes that take HTML and format it to some output format. When you take an object of such a base class and call $formatter->format( $tree ) with an HTML::TreeBuilder (or HTML::Element) object, they return the

HTML formatters are able to format a HTML syntax tree into various printable formats. Different formatters produce output for different output media. Common for all formatters are that they will return the formatted output when the format() method is called. The format() method takes a HTML::Element object (usually the HTML::TreeBuilder root object) as parameter.

my $formatter = FormatterClass->new( option1 => value1, option2 => value2, . );

This creates a new formatter object with the given options.

$string = FormatterClass->format_file( $html_source, option1 => value1, option2 => value2, . );

Return a string consisting of the result of using the given class to format the given HTML file according to the given (optional) options. Internally it calls SomeClass->new( . )->format( . ) on a new HTML::TreeBuilder object based on the given HTML file.

$string = FormatterClass->format_string( $html_source, option1 => value1, option2 => value2, . );

Return a string consisting of the result of using the given class to format the given HTML source according to the given (optional) options. Internally it calls SomeClass->new( . )->format( . ) on a new HTML::TreeBuilder object based on the given source.

my $render_string = $formatter->format( $html_tree_object );

This renders the given HTML object according to the options set for $formatter.

After you’ve used a particular formatter object to format a particular HTML tree object, you probably should not use either again.

The three specific formatters:-

Format HTML into plain text

Format HTML into postscript

Format HTML into Rich Text Format

Also the HTML manipulation libraries used — HTML::TreeBuilder, HTML::Element and HTML::Tree

HTML::Formatter — Base class for HTML formatters

use HTML::FormatSomething; my $infile = "whatever.html"; my $outfile = "whatever.file"; open OUT, ">$outfile" or die "Can't write-open $outfile: $!\n"; print OUT HTML::FormatSomething->format_file( $infile, 'option1' => 'value1', 'option2' => 'value2', . ); close(OUT);

HTML::Formatter is a base class for classes that take HTML and format it to some output format. When you take an object of such a base class and call $formatter- format( $tree )> with an HTML::TreeBuilder (or HTML::Element) object, they return the appropriately formatted string for the input HTML.

HTML formatters are able to format a HTML syntax tree into various printable formats. Different formatters produce output for different output media. Common for all formatters are that they will return the formatted output when the format() method is called. The format() method takes a HTML::Element object (usually the HTML::TreeBuilder root object) as parameter.

The distribution name has been changed to HTML-Formatter as detailed in «DISTRIBUTION NAME»

my $formatter = FormatterClass->new( option1 => value1, option2 => value2, . );

This creates a new formatter object with the given options.

$string = FormatterClass->format_file( $html_source, option1 => value1, option2 => value2, . );

Return a string consisting of the result of using the given class to format the given HTML file according to the given (optional) options. Internally it calls SomeClass->new( . )->format( . ) on a new HTML::TreeBuilder object based on the given HTML file.

$string = FormatterClass->format_string( $html_source, option1 => value1, option2 => value2, . );

Return a string consisting of the result of using the given class to format the given HTML source according to the given (optional) options. Internally it calls SomeClass->new( . )->format( . ) on a new HTML::TreeBuilder object based on the given source.

my $render_string = $formatter->format( $html_tree_object );

This renders the given HTML object according to the options set for $formatter.

After you’ve used a particular formatter object to format a particular HTML tree object, you probably should not use either again.

This module was originally named HTML-Format despite not containing a HTML::Format module within it. As rules on naming have been taken more seriously, and the PAUSE toolchain adapted so that getting the distribution indexed was more difficult, it became obvious that I should rename the distribution to HTML-Formatter matching the base HTML::Formatter module.

As of release 2.13 this is released as the HTML-Formatter distribution with corresponding changes to the git repository name and associated items.

Due to the way that the module is put together this should have no effect on code using the module. The only issues will be where the distribution name was used within dependancies.

The three specific formatters:-

Format HTML into plain text

Format HTML into postscript

Format HTML into Rich Text Format

Also the HTML manipulation libraries used — HTML::TreeBuilder, HTML::Element and HTML::Tree
