RTF::Reader::Interface::asText - Simple RTF to Text conversion
Stable and very simple interface to RTF::Reader for simple RTF to Text conversion
RTF::Reader is no-where near stable, but, it's good enough for use in some applications. Rather than being stuck with the current interface because people have started using it, the RTF::Reader::Interface:: modules provide a stable interface people can use, regardless of what's going on in the background.
The 'asX' modules provide very simple and dirty RTF conversion - the idea being that if you want to do something very simply, it really shouldn't involve a lot of setup.
use RTF::Reader::Interface::asText;
my $text = RTF::Reader::Interface::asText::convert( string => '{\rtf1}' );
my $text = RTF::Reader::Interface::asText::convert( file => \*STDIN );
my $text = RTF::Reader::Interface::asText::convert( file => 'lala.rtf' );
Accepts an input filehandle, file, or string. See the SYNOPSIS above for examples.
Returns a plain-text rendering of the text.
