NAME

6       HTML::Quoted - extract structure of quoted HTML mail message
7

SYNOPSIS

9           use HTML::Quoted;
10           my $html = '...';
11           my $struct = HTML::Quoted->extract( $html );
12

DESCRIPTION

14       Parses and extracts quotation structure out of a HTML message.  Purpose
15       and returned structures are very similar to Text::Quoted.
16

SUPPORTED FORMATS

18       Variouse MUAs use quite different approaches for quoting in mails.
19
20       Some use blockquote tag and it's quite easy to parse.
21
22       Some wrap text into p tags and add '>' in the beginning of the
23       paragraphs.
24
25       Things gettign messier when it's an HTML reply on plain text mail
26       thread.
27
28       If you found format that is not supported then file a bug report via
29       rt.cpan.org with as short as possible example. Test file is even
30       better. Test file with patch is the best. Not obviouse patches without
31       tests suck.

METHODS

34   extract
35           my $struct = HTML::Quoted->extract( $html );
36
37       Takes a string with HTML and returns array reference. Each element in
38       the array either array or hash. For example:
39
40           [
41               { 'raw' => 'Hi,' },
42               { 'raw' => '<div><br><div>On date X wrote:<br>' },
43               [
44                    { 'raw' => '<blockquote>' },
45                    { 'raw' => 'Hello,' },
46                    { 'raw' => '<div>How are you?</div>' },
47                    { 'raw' => '</blockquote>' }
48               ],
49               ...
50           ]
51
52       Hashes represent a part of the html. The following keys are meaningful
53       at the moment:
54
55       •   raw - raw HTML
56
57       •   quoter_raw, quoter - raw and decoded (entities are converted)
58           quoter if block is prefixed with quoting characters
59
60   combine_hunks
61         my $html = HTML::Quoted->combine_hunks( $arrayref_of_hunks );
62
63       Takes the output of "extract" and turns it back into HTML.
