=head1 NAME

HTML::TextToHTML - convert plain text file to HTML.

=head1 VERSION

version 3.0

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  From the command line:

    txt2html I<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 = $conv->process_chunk($mystring)

=head1 DESCRIPTION

HTML::TextToHTML converts plain text files to HTML. The txt2html script
uses this module to do the same from the command-line.

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, giving something nicer
than just whapping the text into a big PRE block.

=head2 History

The original txt2html script was written by Seth Golub (see
http://www.aigeek.com/txt2html/), and converted to a perl module by
Kathryn Andersen (see http://www.katspace.com/tools/text_to_html/) and
made into a sourceforge project by Sun Tong (see
http://sourceforge.net/projects/txt2html/).  Earlier versions of the
HTML::TextToHTML module called the included script texthyper so as not
to clash with the original txt2html script, but now the projects have
all been merged. UPDATING: currently, the project is available on GitHub
at https://github.com/resurrecting-open-source-projects/txt2html

=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 a hash of arguments.

Note that all option-names must match exactly -- no abbreviations are
allowed.  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.

=over

=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 correct 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 correct 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 bold_delimiter

    bold_delimiter=>I<string>

This defines what character (or string) is taken to be the delimiter of
text which is to be interpreted as bold (that is, to be given a STRONG
tag).  If this is empty, then no bolding of text will be done.
(default: #)

=item bullets

    bullets=>I<string>

This defines what single characters are taken to be "bullet" characters
for unordered lists.  Note that because this is used as a character
class, if you use '-' it must come first.
(default:-=o*\267)

=item bullets_ordered

    bullets_ordered=>I<string>

This defines what single characters are taken to be "bullet" placeholder
characters for ordered lists.  Ordered lists are normally marked by
a number or letter followed by '.' or ')' or ']' or ':'.  If an ordered
bullet is used, then it simply indicates that this is an ordered list,
without giving explicit numbers.

Note that because this is used as a character class, if you use '-' it
must come first.
(default:nothing)

=item caps_tag

    caps_tag=>I<tag>

Tag to put around all-caps lines
(default: STRONG)
If an empty tag is given, then no tag will be put around all-caps lines.

=item custom_heading_regexp

    custom_heading_regexp=>\@custom_headings

Add patterns for headings.  Header levels are assigned by regexp in the
order seen in the input text. 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:

    my @custom_headings = ('^ *\d+\. \w+',
			   '^ *\d+\.\d+\. \w+',
			   '^ *\d+\.\d+\.\d+\. \w+');

    ...
	custom_heading_regexp=>\@custom_headings,
    ...

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 "explicit_headings"
option.

This expects a reference to an array of strings.

(default: none)

=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.  If there is no $ENV{HOME} then it is just '.txt2html.dict')

=item demoronize

    demoronize=>1

Convert Microsoft-generated character codes that are non-ISO codes into
something more reasonable.
(default:true)

=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 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd'

If B<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

If false, convert Latin-1 characters to HTML entities.
If true, this conversion is disabled; also "demoronize" is set to
false, since this also changes 8-bit characters.
(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 custom_heading_regexp option.
(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']

The name of the input file(s).  
This expects a reference to an array of filenames.

The special filename '-' designates STDIN.

See also L</inhandle> and L</instring>.

(default:-)

=item inhandle

    inhandle=>\@my_handles
    inhandle=>[\*MYINHANDLE, \*STDIN]

An array of input filehandles; use this instead of
L</infile> or L</instring> to use a filehandle or filehandles
as input.

=item instring

    instring=>\@my_strings
    instring=>[$string1, $string2]

An array of input strings; use this instead of
L</infile> or L</inhandle> to use a string or strings
as input.

=item italic_delimiter

    italic_delimiter=>I<string>

This defines what character (or string) is taken to be the delimiter of
text which is to be interpreted as italic (that is, to be given a EM
tag).  If this is empty, no italicising of text will be done.
(default: *)

=item underline_delimiter

    underline_delimiter=>I<string>

This defines what character (or string) is taken to be the delimiter of
text which is to be interpreted as underlined (that is, to be given a U
tag).  If this is empty, no underlining of text will be done.
(default: _)

=item links_dictionaries

    links_dictionaries=>\@my_link_dicts
    links_dictionaries=>['url_links.dict', '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 Global Link Dictionary and the User
Link Dictionary.  This expects a reference to an array of filenames.

=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 lower_case_tags

     lower_case_tags=>1

Force all tags to be in lower-case.

=item mailmode

    mailmode=>1

Deal with mail headers & quoted text.  The mail header paragraph is
given the class 'mail_header', and mail-quoted text is given the class
'quote_mail'.
(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 outhandle

The output filehandle; if this is given then the output goes
to this filehandle instead of to the file given in L</outfile>.

=item par_indent

    par_indent=>I<n>

Minimum 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 correct 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 tab_width

    tab_width=>I<n>

How many spaces equal a tab?
(default: 8)

=item table_type
    
    table_type=>{ ALIGN=>0, PGSQL=>0, BORDER=>1, DELIM=>0 }

This determines which types of tables will be recognised when "make_tables"
is true.  The possible types are ALIGN, PGSQL, BORDER and DELIM.
(default: all types are true)

=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. (See also "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>".
When such preformatted text is detected, the PRE tag will be given the
class 'quote_explicit'.
(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.

(default: true)

=head2 process_chunk

$newstring = $conv->process_chunk($mystring);

Convert a string to a HTML fragment.  This assumes that this string is

If there are open tags (such as lists) in the input string,
process_chunk will automatically close them, unless you specify not
to, with the close_tags option.

If you want this string to be treated as a fragment, and not assumed to
be a paragraph, set is_fragment to true.  If there is more than one
paragraph in the string (ie it contains blank lines) then this option
will be ignored.

=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 explicitly 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, unless, of course,
the escape_HTML_chars option was turned off)
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.  All headers, both normal and custom headers,
are expected to start at the first line in a "paragraph".

In other words, the following is a header:

    I am Head Man
    -------------

But the following does not have a header:

    I am not a head Man, man
    I am Head Man
    -------------

Tables require a more rigid convention.  A table must be marked as a
separate paragraph, that is, it must be surrounded by blank lines.
Tables come in different types.  For a table to be parsed, its
--table_type option must be on, and the --make_tables option must be true.

B<ALIGN Table Type>

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.

B<BORDER Table Type>

This table type has nice borders around it, and will be rendered
with a border, like so:

    +---------+---------+
    | Column1 | Column2 |
    +---------+---------+
    | val1    | val2    |
    | val3    | val3    |
    +---------+---------+

The above becomes

    <table border="1">
    <thead><tr><th>Column1</th><th>Column2</th></tr></thead>
    <tbody>
    <tr><td>val1</td><td>val2</td></tr>
    <tr><td>val3</td><td>val3</td></tr>
    </tbody>
    </table>

It can also have an optional caption at the start.

         My Caption
    +---------+---------+
    | Column1 | Column2 |
    +---------+---------+
    | val1    | val2    |
    | val3    | val3    |
    +---------+---------+

B<PGSQL Table Type>

This format of table is what one gets from the output of a Postgresql
query.

     Column1 | Column2
    ---------+---------
     val1    | val2
     val3    | val3
    (2 rows)

This can also have an optional caption at the start.
This table is also rendered with a border and table-headers like
the BORDER type.

B<DELIM Table Type>

This table type is delimited by non-alphanumeric characters, and has to
have at least two rows and two columns before it's recognised as a table.

This one is delimited by the '| character:

    | val1  | val2  |
    | val3  | val3  |

But one can use almost any suitable character such as : # $ % + and so on.
This is clever enough to figure out what you are using as the delimiter
if you have your data set up like a table.  Note that the line has to
both begin and end with the delimiter, as well as using it to separate
values.

This can also have an optional caption at the start.

=head1 EXAMPLES

    use HTML::TextToHTML;
 
=head2 Create a new object

    my $conv = new HTML::TextToHTML();

    my $conv = new HTML::TextToHTML(title=>"Wonderful Things",
			    default_link_dict=>$my_link_file,
      );

=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
      );

=head2 Make a pipleline

    open(IN, "ls |") or die "could not open!";
    $conv->txt2html(inhandle=>[\*IN],
                     outfile=>'-',
      );

=head1 NOTES

=over

=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.

=back

=head1 REQUIRES

HTML::TextToHTML requires Perl 5.8.1 or later.

For installation, it needs:

    Module::Build

The txt2html script needs:

    Getopt::Long
    Getopt::ArgvFile
    Pod::Usage
    File::Basename

For testing, it also needs:

    Test::More

For debugging, it also needs:

    YAML::Syck

=head1 INSTALLATION

Make sure you have the dependencies installed first!
(see REQUIRES above)

Some of those modules come standard with more recent versions of perl,
but I thought I'd mention them anyway, just in case you may not have
them.

If you don't know how to install these, try using the CPAN module, an
easy way of auto-installing modules from the Comprehensive Perl Archive
Network, where the above modules reside.
Do "perldoc perlmodinstall" or "perldoc CPAN" for more information.

To install this module type the following:

   perl Build.PL
   ./Build
   ./Build test
   ./Build install

Or, if you're on a platform (like DOS or Windows) that doesn't like the
"./" notation, you can do this:

   perl Build.PL
   perl Build
   perl Build test
   perl Build install

In order to install somewhere other than the default, such as
in a directory under your home directory, like "/home/fred/perl"
go

   perl Build.PL --install_base /home/fred/perl

as the first step instead.

This will install the files underneath /home/fred/perl.

You will then need to make sure that you alter the PERL5LIB variable to
find the modules, and the PATH variable to find the script.

Therefore you will need to change:
your path, to include /home/fred/perl/script (where the script will be)

	PATH=/home/fred/perl/script:${PATH}

the PERL5LIB variable to add /home/fred/perl/lib

	PERL5LIB=/home/fred/perl/lib:${PERL5LIB}

Note that the system links dictionary will be installed as
"/home/fred/perl/share/txt2html/txt2html.dict"

If you want to install in a temporary install directory (such as
if you are building a package) then instead of going

   perl Build install

go

   perl Build install destdir=/my/temp/dir

and it will be installed there, with a directory structure under
/my/temp/dir the same as it would be if it were installed plain.
Note that this is NOT the same as setting --install_base, because
certain things are done at build-time which use the install_base info.

See "perldoc perlrun" for more information on PERL5LIB, and
see "perldoc Module::Build" for more information on
installation options.
