IRC::F...g::HTML(3pm)

💖 IRC::Formatting::HTML 💖

okay bestie, so this is the IRC::F...g::HTML(3pm) page — yes it's a User Contributed Perl Documentation page, and no the name isn't actually cursed, it's just a long module name that got squished in the header. It's IRC::Formatting::HTML and it's literally the little glow-up artist that converts between HTML and IRC formatting. The actual NAME of this thing? Convert between HTML and IRC formatting. that's the whole job. she's a translator. she ate. 💅

✨ VERSION ✨

Version 0.29 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

first up, converting raw IRC formatting into HTML:

use IRC::Formatting::HTML qw/irc_to_html html_to_irc/;

...

my $irctext = "\002\0031,2Iron & Wine";
my $html = irc_to_html($irctext);
print $html

# the above will print:
# <span style="font-weight: bold;color: #000; background-color: #008">Iron &amp; Wine</span>

...

my $html = "<b><em>Nicotine and gravy</em></b>";
my $irctext = html_to_irc($html);
print $html;

# the above will print:
# \002\026Nicotine and Gravy\002\026

(and yes the second example prints $html not $irctext, that's just what it says, don't @ me, it's verbatim 💀)
