=head1 NAME
HTML::FormatText::Lynx - format HTML as plain text using lynx
=for test_synopsis my ($text, $filename, $html_string, $formatter, $tree)
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use HTML::FormatText::Lynx;
$text = HTML::FormatText::Lynx->format_file ($filename);
$text = HTML::FormatText::Lynx->format_string ($html_string);
$formatter = HTML::FormatText::Lynx->new (rightmargin => 60);
$tree = HTML::TreeBuilder->new_from_file ($filename);
$text = $formatter->format ($tree);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
C<HTML::FormatText::Lynx> turns HTML into plain text using the C<lynx> program.
=over 4
L<http://lynx.isc.org/>
=back
The module interface is compatible with formatters like C<HTML::FormatText>,
but all parsing etc is done by lynx.
See C<HTML::FormatExternal> for the formatting functions and options, all of
which are supported by C<HTML::FormatText::Lynx>, with the following caveats
=over 4
=item C<leftmargin>, C<rightmargin>
Prior to the C<-nomargins> option of Lynx 2.8.6dev.12 (June 2005) an
additional 3 space margin is always applied within the requested left and
right positions.
=item C<input_charset>, C<output_charset>
Note that "latin-1" etc is not accepted, it must be "iso-8859-1" etc.
C<output_charset> becomes the C<-display_charset> option and can't be used
on very old C<lynx> which doesn't have that option (eg. lynx circa 2.8.1).
Perhaps in the future C<output_charset> could be dropped if it's already
what will be output, or throw a Perl error when unsupported.
=back
=head2 Extra Options
=over 4
=item C<justify> (boolean)
If true then C<-justify> is passed to lynx to have all lines in the paragraph
padded out with extra spaces to the given C<rightmargin> (or default right
margin).
=item C<unique_links> (boolean)
If true then C<-unique_urls> is passed to have lynx give its link footnotes
just once for each distinct URL, re-used when the same URL occurs more than
once in the document. This module option is per
L<HTML::FormatText::WithLinks>.
