SYNOPSIS

13           use HTML::FormatText::WithLinks::AndTables;
14
15           my $text = HTML::FormatText::WithLinks::AndTables->convert($html);
16
17       Or optionally...
18
19           my $conf = { # same as HTML::FormatText excepting below
20               cellpadding   => 2,  # defaults to 1
21               no_rowspacing => 1,  # bool, suppress vertical space between table rows
22           };
23
24           my $text = HTML::FormatText::WithLinks::AndTables->convert($html, $conf);

DESCRIPTION

27       This module was inspired by HTML::FormatText::WithLinks which has
28       proven to be a useful `lynx -dump` work-alike. However one frustration
29       was that no other HTML converters I came across had the ability to deal
30       affectively with HTML <TABLE>s.  This module can in a rudimentary sense
31       do so. The aim was to provide facility to take a simple HTML based
32       email template, and to also convert it to text with the <TABLE>
33       structure intact for inclusion as "multipart/alternative" content.
34       Further, it will preserve both the formatting specified by the <TD>
35       tag's "align" attribute, and will also preserve multiline text inside
36       of a <TD> element provided it is broken using <BR/> tags.
37
38   EXPORT
39       None by default.

EXAMPLE

44       Given the HTML below ...
45
46           <HTML><BODY>
47           <TABLE>
48               <TR>
49                   <TD ALIGN="right">Name:</TD>
50                   <TD>Mr. Foo Bar</TD>
51               </TR>
52               <TR>
53                   <TD ALIGN="right">Address:</TD>
54                   <TD>
55                       #1-276 Quux Lane,     <BR/>
56                       Schenectady, NY, USA, <BR/>
57                       12345
58                   </TD>
59               </TR>
60               <TR>
61                   <TD ALIGN="right">Email:</TD>
62                   <TD><a href="mailto:foo@bar.baz">foo@bar.baz</a></TD>
63               </TR>
64           </TABLE>
65           </BODY></HTML>
66
67       ... the (default) return value of convert() will be as follows.
68
69              Name:  Mr. Foo Bar
70
71           Address:  #1-276 Quux Lane,
72                     Schenectady, NY, USA,
73                     12345
74
75             Email:  [1]foo@bar.baz
76

79                     1. mailto:foo@bar.baz

CAVEATS

86           * <TH> elements are treated identically to <TD> elements
87
88           * It assumes a fixed width font for display of resulting text.
89
90           * It doesn't work well on nested <TABLE>s or other nested blocks within <TABLE>s.
