=head1 HTML::TextToHTML
HTML::TextToHTML - convert plain text file to HTML
=head1 SYNOPSIS
  From the command line:
    perl -MHTML::TextToHTML -e run_txt2html -- I<arguments>;
    (calls the txt2html method with the given arguments)
  From Scripts:
    use HTML::TextToHTML;
  
    # create a new object
    my $conv = new HTML::TextToHTML();
    # convert a file
    $conv->txt2html(infile=>[$text_file],
                     outfile=>$html_file,
                     title=>"Wonderful Things",
                     mail=>1,
      ]);
    # reset arguments
    $conv->args(infile=>[], mail=>0);
    # convert a string
    $newstring = $conv->process_para($mystring)
=head1 DESCRIPTION
HTML::TextToHTML converts plain text files to HTML.
It supports headings, tables, lists, simple character markup, and
hyperlinking, and is highly customizable. It recognizes some of the
apparent structure of the source document (mostly whitespace and
typographic layout), and attempts to mark that structure explicitly
using HTML. The purpose for this tool is to provide an easier way of
converting existing text documents to HTML format.
There are two ways to use this module:
    (1) called from a perl script
    (2) call run_txt2html from the command line
The first usage requires one to create a HTML::TextToHTML object, and
then call the txt2html or process_para method with suitable arguments.
One can also pass arguments in when creating the object, or call the
args method to pass arguments in.
The second usage allows one to pass arguments in from the command line, by
calling perl and executing the module, and calling run_txt2html which
creates an object for you and parses the command line.
Either way, the arguments are the same.  See L<OPTIONS> for the
arguments; see L<METHODS> for the methods of the HTML::TextToHTML object.
The following are the exported functions of this module:
=over 4
=item run_txt2html
    run_txt2html()
This is what is used to run this module from the command-line.  It creates
a HTML::TextToHTML object and parses the command-line arguments, and passes
them to the object, and runs the txt2html method.  It takes no arguments.
=back 4
=head1 OPTIONS
All arguments can be set when the object is created, and further options
can be set when calling the actual txt2html method. Arguments
to methods can take either a hash of arguments, or a reference to an
array (which will then be processed as if it were a command-line, which
makes this easy to use from scripts even if you don't wish to use
the commonly used Getopt::Long module in your script).
Note that all option-names must match exactly -- no abbreviations are
allowed.
The arguments get treated differently depending on whether they are
given in a hash or a reference to an array.  When the arguments are
in a hash, the argument-keys are expected to have values matching
those required for that argument -- whether that be a boolean, a string,
a reference to an array or a reference to a hash.  These will replace
any value for that argument that might have been there before.
When the arguments are in a reference to an array, it is treated
somewhat as if it were a command-line: option names are expected to
start with '--' or '-', boolean options are set to true as soon as the
option is given (no value is expected to follow),  boolean options with
the word "no" prepended set the option to false, string options are
expected to have a string value following, and those options which are
internally arrays or hashes are treated as cumulative; that is, the
value following the --option is added to the current set for that
option,  to add more, one just repeats the --option with the next value,
and in order to reset that option to empty, the special value of "CLEAR"
must be added to the list.
=over 8
=item append_file
    append_file=>I<filename>
If you want something appended by default, put the filename here.
The appended text will not be processed at all, so make sure it's
plain text or decent HTML.  i.e. do not have things like:
    Mary Andersen E<lt>kitty@example.comE<gt>
but instead, have:
    Mary Andersen &lt;kitty@example.com&gt;
(default: nothing)
=item append_head
    append_head=>I<filename>
If you want something appended to the head by default, put the filename here.
The appended text will not be processed at all, so make sure it's
plain text or decent HTML.  i.e. do not have things like:
    Mary Andersen E<lt>kitty@example.comE<gt>
but instead, have:
    Mary Andersen &lt;kitty@example.com&gt;
(default: nothing)
=item body_deco
    body_deco=>I<string>
Body decoration string: a string to be added to the BODY tag so that
one can set attributes to the BODY (such as class, style, bgcolor etc)
For example, "class='withimage'".
=item caps_tag
    caps_tag=>I<tag>
Tag to put around all-caps lines
(default: STRONG)
=item custom_heading_regexp
    custom_heading_regexp=>I<regexp>
Add a regexp for headings.  Header levels are assigned by regexp
in order seen When a line matches a custom header regexp, it is tagged as
a header.  If it's the first time that particular regexp has matched,
the next available header level is associated with it and applied to
the line.  Any later matches of that regexp will use the same header level.
Therefore, if you want to match numbered header lines, you could use
something like this:
    -H '^ *\d+\. \w+' -H '^ *\d+\.\d+\. \w+' -H '^ *\d+\.\d+\.\d+\. \w+'
Then lines like
                " 1. Examples "
                " 1.1. Things"
            and " 4.2.5. Cold Fusion"
Would be marked as H1, H2, and H3 (assuming they were found in that
order, and that no other header styles were encountered).
If you prefer that the first one specified always be H1, the second
always be H2, the third H3, etc, then use the -EH/--explicit-headings
option.
This is a multi-valued option.
(default: none)
=item debug
     
    debug=>1
Enable copious script debugging output (don't bother, this is for the
developer) (default: false)
=item default_link_dict
    default_link_dict=>I<filename>
The name of the default "user" link dictionary.
(default: "$ENV{'HOME'}/.txt2html.dict" -- this is the same as for
the txt2html script)
=item dict_debug
    dict_debug=>I<n>
Debug mode for link dictionaries Bitwise-Or what you want to see:
          1: The parsing of the dictionary
          2: The code that will make the links
          4: When each rule matches something
          8: When each tag is created
(default: 0)
=item doctype
    doctype=>I<doctype>
This gets put in the DOCTYPE field at the top of the document, unless it's
empty.  (default : "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN")
If --xhtml is true, the contents of this is ignored, unless it's
empty, in which case no DOCTYPE declaration is output.
=item eight_bit_clean
    eight_bit_clean=>1
disable Latin-1 character entity naming
(default: false)
=item escape_HTML_chars
    escape_HTML_chars=>1
turn & E<lt> E<gt> into &amp; &gt; &lt;
(default: true)
=item explicit_headings
    explicit_headings=>1
Don't try to find any headings except the ones specified in the
--custom_heading_regexp option.
Also, the custom headings will not be assigned levels in the order they
are encountered in the document, but in the order they are specified on
the command line.
(default: false)
=item extract
    extract=>1
Extract Mode; don't put HTML headers or footers on the result, just
the plain HTML (thus making the result suitable for inserting into
another document (or as part of the output of a CGI script).
(default: false)
=item hrule_min
    hrule_min=>I<n>
Min number of ---s for an HRule.
(default: 4)
=item indent_width
    indent_width=>I<n>
Indents this many spaces for each level of a list.
(default: 2)
=item indent_par_break
    indent_par_break=>1
Treat paragraphs marked solely by indents as breaks with indents.
That is, instead of taking a three-space indent as a new paragraph,
put in a <BR> and three non-breaking spaces instead.
(see also --preserve_indent)
(default: false)
=item infile
    infile=>\@my_files
    infile=>['chapter1.txt', 'chapter2.txt']
    "--infile", "chapter1.txt", "--infile", "chapter2.txt"
The name of the input file(s).  When the arguments are given as a hash,
this expects a reference to an array of filenames.  When the arguments
are given as a reference to an array, then the "--infile" option must
be repeated for each new file added to the list.  If you want to reset
the list to be empty, give the special value of "CLEAR".
(default:undefined)
=item links_dictionaries
    links_dictionaries=>\@my_link_dicts
    links_dictionaries=>['url_links.dict', 'format_links.dict']
    "--links_dictionaries", "url_links.dict", "--links_dictionaries", "format_links.dict"
File(s) to use as a link-dictionary.  There can be more than one of
these.  These are in addition to the System Link Dictionary and the User
Link Dictionary.  When the arguments are given as a hash, this expects a
reference to an array of filenames.  When the arguments are given as a
reference to an array, then the "--links_dictionaries" option must be
repeated for each new file added to the list.  If you want to reset the
list to be empty, give the special value of "CLEAR".
=item link_only
    link_only=>1
Do no escaping or marking up at all, except for processing the links
dictionary file and applying it.  This is useful if you want to use
the linking feature on an HTML document.  If the HTML is a
complete document (includes HTML,HEAD,BODY tags, etc) then you'll
probably want to use the --extract option also.
(default: false)
=item mailmode
    mailmode=>1
Deal with mail headers & quoted text
(default: false)
=item make_anchors
    make_anchors=>0
Should we try to make anchors in headings?
(default: true)
=item make_links
    make_links=>0
Should we try to build links?  If this is false, then the links
dictionaries are not consulted and only structural text-to-HTML
conversion is done.  (default: true)
=item make_tables
    make_tables=>1
Should we try to build tables?  If true, spots tables and marks them up
appropriately.  See L<Input File Format> for information on how tables
should be formatted.
This overrides the detection of lists; if something looks like a table,
it is taken as a table, and list-checking is not done for that
paragraph.
(default: false)
=item min_caps_length
    min_caps_length=>I<n>
min sequential CAPS for an all-caps line
(default: 3)
=item outfile
    outfile=>I<filename>
The name of the output file.  If it is "-" then the output goes
to Standard Output.
(default: - )
=item par_indent
    par_indent=>I<n>
Minumum number of spaces indented in first lines of paragraphs.
  Only used when there's no blank line
preceding the new paragraph.
(default: 2)
=item preformat_trigger_lines
    preformat_trigger_lines=>I<n>
How many lines of preformatted-looking text are needed to switch to <PRE>
          <= 0 : Preformat entire document
             1 : one line triggers
          >= 2 : two lines trigger
(default: 2)
=item endpreformat_trigger_lines
    endpreformat_trigger_lines=>I<n>
How many lines of unpreformatted-looking text are needed to switch from <PRE>
           <= 0 : Never preformat within document
              1 : one line triggers
           >= 2 : two lines trigger
(default: 2)
NOTE for preformat_trigger_lines and endpreformat_trigger_lines:
A zero takes precedence.  If one is zero, the other is ignored.
If both are zero, entire document is preformatted.
=item preformat_start_marker
    preformat_start_marker=>I<regexp>
What flags the start of a preformatted section if --use_preformat_marker
is true.
(default: "^(:?(:?&lt;)|<)PRE(:?(:?&gt;)|>)\$")
=item preformat_end_marker
    preformat_end_marker=>I<regexp>
What flags the end of a preformatted section if --use_preformat_marker
is true.
(default: "^(:?(:?&lt;)|<)/PRE(:?(:?&gt;)|>)\$")
=item preformat_whitespace_min
    preformat_whitespace_min=>I<n>
Minimum number of consecutive whitespace characters to trigger
normal preformatting. 
NOTE: Tabs are expanded to spaces before this check is made.
That means if B<tab_width> is 8 and this is 5, then one tab may be
expanded to 8 spaces, which is enough to trigger preformatting.
(default: 5)
=item prepend_file
    prepend_file=>I<filename>
If you want something prepended to the processed body text, put the
filename here.  The prepended text will not be processed at all, so make
sure it's plain text or decent HTML.
(default: nothing)
=item preserve_indent
    preserve_indent=>1
Preserve the first-line indentation of paragraphs marked with indents
by replacing the spaces of the first line with non-breaking spaces.
(default: false)
=item short_line_length
    short_line_length=>I<n>
Lines this short (or shorter) must be intentionally broken and are kept
that short.
(default: 40)
=item style_url
    style_url=>I<url>
This gives the URL of a stylesheet; a LINK tag will be added to the
output.
=item system_link_dict
    system_link_dict=>I<filename>
The name of the default "system" link dictionary.
(default: "/usr/share/txt2html/txt2html.dict")
=item tab_width
    tab_width=>I<n>
How many spaces equal a tab?
(default: 8)
=item title
    title=>I<title>
You can specify a title.  Otherwise it will use a blank one.
(default: nothing)
=item titlefirst
    titlefirst=>1
Use the first non-blank line as the title.
=item underline_length_tolerance
    underline_length_tolerance=>I<n>
How much longer or shorter can underlines be and still be underlines?
(default: 1)
=item underline_offset_tolerance
    underline_offset_tolerance=>I<n>
How far offset can underlines be and still be underlines?
(default: 1)
=item unhyphenation
    unhyphenation=>0
Enables unhyphenation of text.
(default: true)
=item use_mosaic_header
    use_mosaic_header=>1
Use this option if you want to force the heading styles to match what Mosaic
outputs.  (Underlined with "***"s is H1,
with "==="s is H2, with "+++" is H3, with "---" is H4, with "~~~" is H5
and with "..." is H6)
This was the behavior of txt2html up to version 1.10.
(default: false)
=item use_preformat_marker
    use_preformat_marker=>1
Turn on preformatting when encountering
"<PRE>" on a line by itself, and turn it
off when there's a line containing only "</PRE>".
(default: off)
=item xhtml
    xhtml=>1
Try to make the output conform to the XHTML standard, including
closing all open tags and marking empty tags correctly.  This
turns on --lower_case_tags and overrides the --doctype option.
Note that if you add a header or a footer file, it is up to you
to make it conform; the header/footer isn't touched by this.
Likewise, if you make link-dictionary entries that break XHTML,
then this won't fix them, except to the degree of putting all tags
into lower-case.

$newstring = $conv->process_para($mystring);
Convert a string to a HTML fragment.  This assumes that this string is at
the least, a single paragraph.  This returns the processed string.  If you
want to pass arguments to alter the behaviour of this conversion, you need
to do that earlier, either when you create the object, or with the L<args>
method.
    $newstring = $conv->process_para($mystring,
                            close_tags=>0);
If there are open tags (such as lists) in the input string, process_para will
now automatically close them, unless you specify not to, with the close_tags
option.
    $newstring = $conv->process_para($mystring,
                            is_fragment=>1);
If you want this string to be treated as a fragment, and not assumed to be
a paragraph, set is_fragment to true.

Convert a text file to HTML.  Takes a hash of arguments, or a reference
to an array of arguments to customize the conversion; (this includes
saying what file to convert!) See L<OPTIONS> for the possible values of
the arguments.  Arguments which have already been set with B<new> or
B<args> will remain as they are, unless they are overridden.

=head1 FILE FORMATS
There are two files which are used which can affect the outcome of the
conversion.  One is the link dictionary, which contains patterns (of how
to recognise http links and other things) and how to convert them. The
other is, naturally, the format of the input file itself.
=head2 Link Dictionary
A link dictionary file contains patterns to match, and what to convert
them to.  It is called a "link" dictionary because it was intended to be
something which defined what a href link was, but it can be used for
more than that.  However, if you wish to define your own links, it is
strongly advised to read up on regular expressions (regexes) because
this relies heavily on them.
The file consists of comments (which are lines starting with #)
and blank lines, and link entries.
Each entry consists of a regular expression, a -> separator (with
optional flags), and a link "result".
In the simplest case, with no flags, the regular expression
defines the pattern to look for, and the result says what part
of the regular expression is the actual link, and the link which
is generated has the href as the link, and the whole matched pattern
as the visible part of the link.  The first character of the regular
expression is taken to be the separator for the regex, so one
could either use the traditional / separator, or something else
such as | (which can be helpful with URLs which are full of / characters).
So, for example, an ftp URL might be defined as:
    |ftp:[\w/\.:+\-]+|      -> $&
This takes the whole pattern as the href, and the resultant link
has the same thing in the href as in the contents of the anchor.
But sometimes the href isn't the whole pattern.
    /&lt;URL:\s*(\S+?)\s*&gt;/ --> $1
With the above regex, a () grouping marks the first subexpression,
which is represented as $1 (rather than $& the whole expression).
This entry matches a URL which was marked explicity as a URL
with the pattern <URL:foo>  (note the &lt; is shown as the
entity, not the actual character.  This is because by the
time the links dictionary is checked, all such things have
already been converted to their HTML entity forms)
This would give us a link in the form
<A HREF="foo">&lt;URL:foo&gt;</A>
B<The h flag>
However, if we want more control over the way the link is constructed,
we can construct it ourself.  If one gives the h flag, then the
"result" part of the entry is taken not to contain the href part of
the link, but the whole link.
For example, the entry:
    /&lt;URL:\s*(\S+?)\s*&gt;/ -h-> <A HREF="$1">$1</A>
will take <URL:foo> and give us <A HREF="foo">foo</A>
However, this is a very powerful mechanism, because it
can be used to construct custom tags which aren't links at all.
For example, to flag *italicised words* the following
entry will surround the words with EM tags.
    /\B\*([a-z][a-z -]*[a-z])\*\B/ -hi-> <EM>$1</EM>
B<The i flag>
This turns on ignore case in the pattern matching.
B<The e flag>
This turns on execute in the pattern substitution.  This really
only makes sense if h is turned on too.  In that case, the "result"
part of the entry is taken as perl code to be executed, and the
result of that code is what replaces the pattern.
B<The o flag>
This marks the entry as a once-only link.  This will convert the
first instance of a matching pattern, and ignore any others
further on.
For example, the following pattern will take the first mention
of HTML::TextToHTML and convert it to a link to the module's home page.
    "HTML::TextToHTML"  -io-> http://www.katspace.com/tools/text_to_html/
=head2 Input File Format
For the most part, this module tries to use intuitive conventions for
determining the structure of the text input.  Unordered lists are
marked by bullets; ordered lists are marked by numbers or letters;
in either case, an increase in indentation marks a sub-list contained
in the outer list.
Headers (apart from custom headers) are distinguished by "underlines"
underneath them; headers in all-capitals are distinguished from
those in mixed case.
Tables require a more rigid convention.  A table must be marked as a
separate paragraph, that is, it must be surrounded by blank lines.
Columns must be separated by two or more spaces (this prevents
accidental incorrect recognition of a paragraph where interword spaces
happen to line up).  If there are two or more rows in a paragraph and
all rows share the same set of (two or more) columns, the paragraph is
assumed to be a table.  For example
    -e  File exists.
    -z  File has zero size.
    -s  File has nonzero size (returns size).
becomes
    <TABLE>
    <TR><TD>-e</TD><TD>File exists.</TD></TR>
    <TR><TD>-z</TD><TD>File has zero size.</TD></TR>
    <TR><TD>-s</TD><TD>File has nonzero size (returns size).</TD></TR>
    </TABLE>
This guesses for each column whether it is intended to be left,
centre or right aligned.
=head1 EXAMPLES
    use HTML::TextToHTML;
  
=head2 Create a new object
    my $conv = new HTML::TextToHTML();
    my $conv = new HTML::TextToHTML(title=>"Wonderful Things",
                            system_link_dict=>$my_link_file,
      );
    my $conv = new HTML::TextToHTML(\@ARGV);
=head2 Add further arguments
    $conv->args(short_line_length=>60,
               preformat_trigger_lines=>4,
               caps_tag=>"strong",
      );
=head2 Convert a file
    $conv->txt2html(infile=>[$text_file],
                     outfile=>$html_file,
                     title=>"Wonderful Things",
                     mail=>1
      );
    $conv->txt2html(["--file", $text_file,
                     "--outfile", $html_file,
                     "--title", "Wonderful Things",
                         "--mail"
      ]);
=head1 NOTES
=over 4
=item *
One cannot use "CLEAR" as a value for the cumulative arguments.
=item *
If the underline used to mark a header is off by more than 1, then 
that part of the text will not be picked up as a header unless you
change the value of --underline_length_tolerance and/or
--underline_offset_tolerance.  People tend to forget this.
