NAME

       HTML::Quoted - extract structure of quoted HTML mail message

SYNOPSIS

           use HTML::Quoted;
           my $html = '...';
           my $struct = HTML::Quoted->extract( $html );

DESCRIPTION

       Parses and extracts quotation structure out of a HTML message.  Purpose and returned
       structures are very similar to Text::Quoted.

SUPPORTED FORMATS

       Variouse MUAs use quite different approaches for quoting in mails.

       Some use blockquote tag and it's quite easy to parse.

       Some wrap text into p tags and add '>' in the beginning of the paragraphs.

       Things gettign messier when it's an HTML reply on plain text mail thread.

       If you found format that is not supported then file a bug report via rt.cpan.org with as
       short as possible example. Test file is even better. Test file with patch is the best. Not
       obviouse patches without tests suck.

METHODS

   extract
           my $struct = HTML::Quoted->extract( $html );

       Takes a string with HTML and returns array reference. Each element in the array either
       array or hash. For example:

           [
               { 'raw' => 'Hi,' },
               { 'raw' => '<div><br><div>On date X wrote:<br>' },
               [
                    { 'raw' => '<blockquote>' },
                    { 'raw' => 'Hello,' },
                    { 'raw' => '<div>How are you?</div>' },
                    { 'raw' => '</blockquote>' }
               ],
               ...
           ]

       Hashes represent a part of the html. The following keys are meaningful at the moment:

       •   raw - raw HTML

       •   quoter_raw, quoter - raw and decoded (entities are converted) quoter if block is
           prefixed with quoting characters

   combine_hunks
         my $html = HTML::Quoted->combine_hunks( $arrayref_of_hunks );

       Takes the output of "extract" and turns it back into HTML.
