=head1 NAME

HTML::FormatText::Links - format HTML as plain text using links

=for test_synopsis my ($text, $filename, $html_string, $formatter, $tree)

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 use HTML::FormatText::Links;
 $text = HTML::FormatText::Links->format_file ($filename);
 $text = HTML::FormatText::Links->format_string ($html_string);

 $formatter = HTML::FormatText::Links->new (rightmargin => 60);
 $tree = HTML::TreeBuilder->new_from_file ($filename);
 $text = $formatter->format ($tree);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

C<HTML::FormatText::Links> turns HTML into plain text using the C<links>
program.

=over 4

L<http://links.twibright.com/>

=back

The module interface is compatible with formatters like C<HTML::FormatText>,
but all parsing etc is done by links.  See C<HTML::FormatExternal> for the
formatting functions and options, all of which are supported by
C<HTML::FormatText::Links>, with the following caveats.

=over 4

=item C<leftmargin>, C<rightmargin>

In past versions of links without the C<-html-margin> option you always get
an extra 3 spaces within the requested left and right margins.

=item C<input_charset>, C<output_charset>

An output charset requires Links 2.0 or higher (or some such version), and
as of 2.2 the output cannot be UTF-8 (though the input can be).  Various
unicode inputs are turned into reasonable output though, for example smiley
face U+263A becomes ":-)".

=back

Links can be a bit picky about its charset names.  This module attempts to
ease that by for instance turning "latin-1" (not accepted) into "latin1"
(which is accepted).  A full "ISO-8859-1" etc is accepted too.
