NAME
       HTML::FormatText::WithLinks::AndTables - Converts HTML to Text with tables intact


VERSION
       version 0.07


SYNOPSIS
           use HTML::FormatText::WithLinks::AndTables;

           my $text = HTML::FormatText::WithLinks::AndTables->convert($html);

       Or optionally...

           my $conf = { # same as HTML::FormatText excepting below
               cellpadding   => 2,  # defaults to 1
               no_rowspacing => 1,  # bool, suppress vertical space between table rows
           };

           my $text = HTML::FormatText::WithLinks::AndTables->convert($html, $conf);


DESCRIPTION
       This module was inspired by HTML::FormatText::WithLinks which has proven to be a useful
       `lynx -dump` work-alike. However one frustration was that no other HTML converters I came
       across had the ability to deal affectively with HTML <TABLE>s.  This module can in a
       rudimentary sense do so. The aim was to provide facility to take a simple HTML based email
       template, and to also convert it to text with the <TABLE> structure intact for inclusion
       as "multipart/alternative" content. Further, it will preserve both the formatting
       specified by the <TD> tag's "align" attribute, and will also preserve multiline text
       inside of a <TD> element provided it is broken using <BR/> tags.

   EXPORT
       None by default.


METHODS
   convert

EXAMPLE
       Given the HTML below ...

           <HTML><BODY>
           <TABLE>
               <TR>
                   <TD ALIGN="right">Name:</TD>
                   <TD>Mr. Foo Bar</TD>
               </TR>
               <TR>
                   <TD ALIGN="right">Address:</TD>
                   <TD>
                       #1-276 Quux Lane,     <BR/>
                       Schenectady, NY, USA, <BR/>
                       12345
                   </TD>
               </TR>
               <TR>
                   <TD ALIGN="right">Email:</TD>
                   <TD><a href="mailto:foo@bar.baz">foo@bar.baz</a></TD>
               </TR>
           </TABLE>
           </BODY></HTML>

       ... the (default) return value of convert() will be as follows.

              Name:  Mr. Foo Bar

           Address:  #1-276 Quux Lane,
                     Schenectady, NY, USA,
                     12345

             Email:  [1]foo@bar.baz

                     1. mailto:foo@bar.baz

CAVEATS
           * <TH> elements are treated identically to <TD> elements

           * It assumes a fixed width font for display of resulting text.

           * It doesn't work well on nested <TABLE>s or other nested blocks within <TABLE>s.
