NAME
HTML::FormatRTF - Format HTML as RTF

VERSION
version 2.11

SYNOPSIS
use HTML::FormatRTF;

my $out_file = "test.rtf";
open(RTF, ">$out_file")
or die "Can't write-open $out_file: $!\nAborting";

print RTF HTML::FormatRTF->format_file(
'test.html',
'fontname_headings' => "Verdana",
);
close(RTF);

DESCRIPTION
HTML::FormatRTF is a class for objects that you use to convert HTML to RTF. There is
currently no proper support for tables or forms.

This is a subclass of HTML::Formatter, whose documentation you should consult for more
information on underlying methods such as "new", "format", "format_file" etc

You can specify any of the following parameters in the call to "new", "format_file", or
"format_string":

lm Amount of extra indenting to apply to the left margin, in twips (twentieths of a
point). Default is 0.

So if you wanted the left margin to be an additional half inch larger, you'd set "lm
=> 720" (since there's 1440 twips in an inch). If you wanted it to be about 1.5cm
larger, you'd set "lw => 850" (since there's about 567 twips in a centimeter).

rm Amount of extra indenting to apply to the left margin, in twips (twentieths of a
point). Default is 0.

normal_halfpoint_size
This is the size of normal text in the document, in half-points. The default value is
22, meaning that normal text is in 11 point.

header_halfpoint_size
This is the size of text used in the document's page-header, in half-points. The
default value is 17, meaning that normal text is in 7.5 point. Currently, the header
consists just of "p.pagenumber" in the upper-right-hand corner, and cannot be
disabled.

head1_halfpoint_size ... head6_halfpoint_size
These control the font size of each heading level, in half-twips. For example, the
default for head3_halfpoint_size is 25, meaning that HTML "<h3>...</h3>" text will be
in 12.5 point text (in addition to being underlined and in the heading font).

codeblock_halfpoint_size
This controls the font size (in half-points) of the text used for "<pre>...</pre>"
text. By default, it is 18, meaning 9 point.

fontname_body
This option controls what font is to be used for the body of the text -- that is,
everything other than heading text and text in pre/code/tt elements. The default value
is currently "Times". Other handy values I can suggest using are "Georgia" or
"Bookman Old Style".

fontname_code
This option controls what font is to be used for text in pre/code/tt elements. The
default value is currently "Courier New".

fontname_headings
This option controls what font name is to be used for headings. You can use the same
font as fontname_body, but I prefer a sans-serif font, so the default value is
currently "Arial". Also consider "Tahoma" and "Verdana".

document_language
This option controls what Microsoft language number will be specified as the language
for this document. The current default value is 1033, for US English. Consult an RTF
reference for other language numbers.

hr_width
This option controls how many underline characters will be used for rendering a "<hr>"
tag. Its default value is currently 50. You can usually leave this alone, but under
some circumstances you might want to use a smaller or larger number.

no_prolog
If this option is set to a true value, HTML::FormatRTF will make a point of not
emitting the RTF prolog before the document. By default, this is off, meaning that
HTML::FormatRTF will emit the prolog. This option is of interest only to advanced
users.

no_trailer
If this option is set to a true value, HTML::FormatRTF will make a point of not
emitting the RTF trailer at the end of the document. By default, this is off, meaning
that HTML::FormatRTF will emit the bit of RTF that ends the document. This option is
of interest only to advanced users.
