💅 HTML::FormatText::W3m — bestie edition ✨

okay so this is HTML::FormatText::W3m, a little Perl module from the User Contributed Perl Documentation crew that takes your HTML and turns it into plain text. it's giving "glow down but make it intentional" 🦋

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

HTML::FormatText::W3m — format HTML as plain text using w3m 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the vibe, copy-paste ready, no cap:

use HTML::FormatText::W3m;
$text = HTML::FormatText::W3m->format_file ($filename);
$text = HTML::FormatText::W3m->format_string ($html_string);

$formatter = HTML::FormatText::W3m->new (rightmargin => 60);
$tree = HTML::TreeBuilder->new_from_file ($filename);
$text = $formatter->format ($tree);

like, you can go in with a file, you can go in with a string, or you can build your own formatter object and hand it a whole tree. pick your fighter 🫶

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so HTML::FormatText::W3m turns HTML into plain text using the w3m program. that's it, that's the whole personality. the actual work is being done by w3m, our icon, our main character 👑

the module lives here, go say hi:

<http://sourceforge.net/projects/w3m>

the interface is compatible with formatters like HTML::FormatText, but heads up bestie — all the parsing etc is done by w3m. so it's not the same engine under the hood, it's just dressed the same. it's giving same outfit, different girl 💅

also, go read HTML::FormatExternal for the formatting functions and options, because all of them are supported by HTML::FormatText::W3m. every single one. no crumbs left behind ✨
