=head1 NAME
HTML::FormatText::Html2text - format HTML as plain text using html2text
=for test_synopsis my ($text, $filename, $html_string, $formatter, $tree)
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use HTML::FormatText::Html2text;
$text = HTML::FormatText::Html2text->format_file ($filename);
$text = HTML::FormatText::Html2text->format_string ($html_string);
$formatter = HTML::FormatText::Html2text->new;
$tree = HTML::TreeBuilder->new_from_file ($filename);
$text = $formatter->format ($tree);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
C<HTML::FormatText::Html2text> turns HTML into plain text using the
C<html2text> program.
=over 4
http://www.mbayer.de/html2text/
=back
The module interface is compatible with formatters like C<HTML::FormatText>,
but all parsing etc is done by html2text.
See C<HTML::FormatExternal> for the formatting functions and options, with
the following caveats,
=over 4
=item C<output_charset>
If set to "ascii" or "ANSI_X3.4-1968" (both case-insensitive) the
C<html2text -ascii> option is used, when available (C<html2text> 1.3.2 from
Jan 2004). Apart from that there's no control over the output charset.
=item C<input_charset>
Currently this option has no effect, input generally has to be latin-1 only
(but with some further characters accepted as C<&> style named entities).
