=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

L<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<input_charset>

Currently this option has no effect.  Input generally has to be latin-1
only, though the Debian extended C<html2ext> interprets a C<< <meta> >>
charset directive in the HTML header.

Various C<&> style named or numbered entities are recognised and result in
suitable output.  The suggestion would be entitized input for maximum
portability among C<html2text> versions.

=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).

If set to "UTF-8" then Debian extension C<-utf8> option is used (circa
2009).

Apart from this there's no control over the output charset.
