Some html with a link
); my $text = $f->parse($html); print $text; # results in something like Some html with a [1]link 1. http://example.com/ my $f2 = HTML::FormatText::WithLinks->new( before_link => '', after_link => ' [%l]', footnote => '' ); $text = $f2->parse($html); print $text; # results in something like Some html with a link [http://example.com/] my $f3 = HTML::FormatText::WithLinks->new( link_num_generator => sub { return "*" x (shift() + 1); }, footnote => '[%n] %l' ); $text = $f3->parse($html); print $text; # results in something like Some html with a [*]link [*] http://example.com/ =head1 DESCRIPTION HTML::FormatText::WithLinks takes HTML and turns it into plain text but prints all the links in the HTML as footnotes. By default, it attempts to mimic the format of the lynx text based web browser's --dump option. =head1 METHODS =head2 new my $f = HTML::FormatText::WithLinks->new( %options ); Returns a new instance. It accepts all the options of HTML::FormatText plus =over =item base a base option. This should be set to a URI which will be used to turn any relative URIs on the HTML to absolute ones. =item before_link (default: '[%n]') =item after_link (default: '') =item footnote (default: '[%n] %l') a string to print before a link (i.e. when the is found), after link has ended (i.e. when then is found) and when printing out footnotes. "%n" will be replaced by the link number, "%l" will be replaced by the link itself. If footnote is set to '', no footnotes will be printed. =item link_num_generator (default: sub { return shift() + 1 }) link_num_generator is a sub that returns the value to be printed for a given link number. The internal store starts numbering at 0. =item with_emphasis If set to 1 then italicised text will be surrounded by / and bolded text by _. =item unique_links If set to 1 then will only generate 1 footnote per unique URI as oppose to the default behaviour which is to generate a footnote per URI. =back =head2 parse my $text = $f->parse($html); Takes some HTML and returns it as text. Returns undef on error. Will also return undef if you don't pass it undef. Returns an empty string if passed an empty string. =head2 parse_file my $text = $f->parse_file($filename); Takes a filename and returns the contents of the file as plain text. Returns undef on error. =head2 error $f->error(); Returns the last error that occured. In practice this is likely to be either a warning that parse_file couldn't find the file or that HTML::TreeBuilder failed. =head1 CAVEATS When passing HTML fragments the results may be a little unpredictable. I've tried to work round the most egregious of the issues but any unexpected results are welcome. Also note that if for some reason there is an a tag in the document that does not have an href attribute then it will be quietly ignored. If this is really a problem for anyone then let me know and I'll see if I can think of a sensible thing to do in this case. =head1 AUTHOR Struan Donald. E
