NAME

       HTML::FormatText::Vilistextum - format HTML as plain text using vilistextum

SYNOPSIS

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

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

DESCRIPTION

       "HTML::FormatText::Vilistextum" turns HTML into plain text using the "vilistextum"
       program.

           <http://bhaak.net/vilistextum/>

       The module interface is compatible with formatters like "HTML::FormatText", but all
       parsing etc is done by vilistextum.

       See "HTML::FormatExternal" for the formatting functions and options, with the following
       caveats,

       "input_charset"
           There's no "input_charset" option yet.  ("vilistextum" has a "-y" option but it might
           be only a default, with the document "<meta>" taking precedence, whereas the intention
           of "input_charset" is to override the document.)

       "output_charset"
           Charset "UTF-8" can be given for UTF-8 output.  This passes "-u" to "vilistextum",
           which is only available if built with "--enable-multibyte" (as of its version 2.6.9).
