DESCRIPTION

25       HTML::FormatRTF is a class for objects that you use to convert HTML to
26       RTF.  There is currently no proper support for tables or forms.
27
28       This is a subclass of HTML::Formatter, whose documentation you should
29       consult for more information on underlying methods such as "new",
30       "format", "format_file" etc
31
32       You can specify any of the following parameters in the call to "new",
33       "format_file", or "format_string":
34
35       lm  Amount of extra indenting to apply to the left margin, in twips
36           (twentieths of a point). Default is 0.
37
38           So if you wanted the left margin to be an additional half inch
39           larger, you'd set "lm => 720" (since there's 1440 twips in an
40           inch). If you wanted it to be about 1.5cm larger, you'd set "lw =>
41           850" (since there's about 567 twips in a centimeter).
42
43       rm  Amount of extra indenting to apply to the left margin, in twips
44           (twentieths of a point).  Default is 0.
45
46       normal_halfpoint_size
47           This is the size of normal text in the document, in half-points.
48           The default value is 22, meaning that normal text is in 11 point.
49
50       header_halfpoint_size
51           This is the size of text used in the document's page-header, in
52           half-points.  The default value is 17, meaning that normal text is
53           in 7.5 point.  Currently, the header consists just of "p.
54           pagenumber" in the upper-right-hand corner, and cannot be disabled.
55
56       head1_halfpoint_size ... head6_halfpoint_size
57           These control the font size of each heading level, in half-twips.
58           For example, the default for head3_halfpoint_size is 25, meaning
59           that HTML "<h3>...</h3>" text will be in 12.5 point text (in
60           addition to being underlined and in the heading font).
61
62       codeblock_halfpoint_size
63           This controls the font size (in half-points) of the text used for
64           "<pre>...</pre>" text.  By default, it is 18, meaning 9 point.
65
66       fontname_body
67           This option controls what font is to be used for the body of the
68           text -- that is, everything other than heading text and text in
69           pre/code/tt elements. The default value is currently "Times".
70           Other handy values I can suggest using are "Georgia" or "Bookman
71           Old Style".
72
73       fontname_code
74           This option controls what font is to be used for text in
75           pre/code/tt elements.  The default value is currently "Courier
76           New".
77
78       fontname_headings
79           This option controls what font name is to be used for headings.
80           You can use the same font as fontname_body, but I prefer a sans-
81           serif font, so the default value is currently "Arial".  Also
82           consider "Tahoma" and "Verdana".
83
84       document_language
85           This option controls what Microsoft language number will be
86           specified as the language for this document. The current default
87           value is 1033, for US English.  Consult an RTF reference for other
88           language numbers.
89
90       hr_width
91           This option controls how many underline characters will be used for
92           rendering a "<hr>" tag. Its default value is currently 50. You can
93           usually leave this alone, but under some circumstances you might
94           want to use a smaller or larger number.
95
96       no_prolog
97           If this option is set to a true value, HTML::FormatRTF will make a
98           point of not emitting the RTF prolog before the document.  By
99           default, this is off, meaning that HTML::FormatRTF will emit the
100           prolog.  This option is of interest only to advanced users.
101
102       no_trailer
103           If this option is set to a true value, HTML::FormatRTF will make a
104           point of not emitting the RTF trailer at the end of the document.
105           By default, this is off, meaning that HTML::FormatRTF will emit the
106           bit of RTF that ends the document.  This option is of interest only
107           to advanced users.
