HTML::Formatter - Base class for HTML formatters
VERSION
version 2.16
SYNOPSIS
use HTML::FormatSomething;
my $infile = "whatever.html";
my $outfile = "whatever.file";
open OUT, ">$outfile"
or die "Can't write-open $outfile: $!\n";
print OUT HTML::FormatSomething->format_file(
$infile,
'option1' => 'value1',
'option2' => 'value2',
...
);
close(OUT);
DESCRIPTION
HTML::Formatter is a base class for classes that take HTML and format
it to some output format. When you take an object of such a base class
and call $formatter-format( $tree )> with an HTML::TreeBuilder (or
HTML::Element) object, they return the appropriately formatted string
for the input HTML.
HTML formatters are able to format a HTML syntax tree into various
printable formats. Different formatters produce output for different
output media. Common for all formatters are that they will return the
formatted output when the format() method is called. The format()
method takes a HTML::Element object (usually the HTML::TreeBuilder root
object) as parameter.
The distribution name has been changed to HTML-Formatter as detailed in
"DISTRIBUTION NAME"
METHODS
new
my $formatter = FormatterClass->new(
option1 => value1, option2 => value2, ...
);
This creates a new formatter object with the given options.
format_file
format_from_file
$string = FormatterClass->format_file(
$html_source,
option1 => value1, option2 => value2, ...
);
Return a string consisting of the result of using the given class to
format the given HTML file according to the given (optional) options.
Internally it calls SomeClass->new( ... )->format( ... ) on a new
HTML::TreeBuilder object based on the given HTML file.
format_string
format_from_string
$string = FormatterClass->format_string(
$html_source,
option1 => value1, option2 => value2, ...
);
Return a string consisting of the result of using the given class to
format the given HTML source according to the given (optional) options.
Internally it calls SomeClass->new( ... )->format( ... ) on a new
HTML::TreeBuilder object based on the given source.
format
my $render_string = $formatter->format( $html_tree_object );
This renders the given HTML object according to the options set for
$formatter.
After you've used a particular formatter object to format a particular
HTML tree object, you probably should not use either again.
DISTRIBUTION NAME
This module was originally named HTML-Format despite not containing a
HTML::Format module within it. As rules on naming have been taken more
seriously, and the PAUSE toolchain adapted so
that getting the distribution indexed was more difficult, it became
obvious that I should rename the distribution to HTML-Formatter
matching the base HTML::Formatter module.
As of release 2.13 this is released as the HTML-Formatter distribution
with corresponding changes to the git repository name and associated
items.
Due to the way that the module is put together this should have no
effect on code using the module. The only issues will be where the
distribution name was used within dependancies.

2.10 2011-07-18 17:07:35 Europe/London
- Tests reworked to not use subtests. Development versions
of Test::More do not support subtests, and the smokers
that are running with these dev versions then send me
confusing test failures. This is a pain.
2.09 2011-07-15 14:20:12 Europe/London

- Now remap all double quotes to " in FormatPS (which is not
really right, but the best I can do with latin1 output)

The lack of \plain's in HTML::FormatRTF's output was confusing some
formatters. Fixed.
2.02 2002-11-16 Sean M. Burke

Changed the set_version_tag method in HTML::Formatter to avoid some
undef warnings that "James W. Durkin" found.
No big bug reports on the previous version, so maybe it's not so
experimental after all!

- Added HTML::FormatRTF.
- Lots of internal changes to HTML::FormatPS and HTML::Formatter.
