✨ 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. like, all of it. not us. we're just the messenger. 🫶

See HTML::FormatExternal for the formatting functions and options, with the following caveats, and bestie, please read the caveats, they're important:

• 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.) so basically the vibe is unresolved. 😭
• 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). so if you didn't build it that way, that flag is not it. 💀
