=head1 NAME
HTML::FormatText::WithLinks - HTML to text conversion with links as footnotes
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use HTML::FormatText::WithLinks;
my $f = HTML::FormatText::WithLinks->new();
my $html = qq(
<html>
<body>
<p>
Some html with a <a href="http://example.com/">link</a>
</p>
</body>
</html>
);
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 doc_overrides_base
If a base element is found in the document and it has an href attribute
then setting doc_overrides_base to true will cause the document's base
to be used. This defaults to false.
=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 <a> is found),
after link has ended (i.e. when then </a> 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 C</> and bolded text by
C<_>. You can change these markers by using the C<italic_marker> and
C<bold_marker> options.
=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.
=item anchor_links
If set to 0 then links pointing to local anchors will be skipped.
The default behaviour is to include all links.
=item skip_linked_urls
If set to 1, then links where the text equals the href value will be skipped.
The default behaviour is to include all links.
=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.
