Description:

This is a collection of formatter modules turning HTML into plain text
by dumping it through the respective external programs.

HTML::FormatText::Elinks HTML::FormatText::Html2text
HTML::FormatText::Links HTML::FormatText::Lynx
HTML::FormatText::Netrik HTML::FormatText::Vilistextum
HTML::FormatText::W3m HTML::FormatText::Zen

The module interfaces are compatible with HTML::Formatter modules such
as HTML::FormatText, but the external programs do all the work.

Common formatting options are used where possible, such as leftmargin
and rightmargin. So just by switching the class you can use a
different program (or the plain HTML::FormatText) according to
personal preference, or strengths and weaknesses, or what you've got.

There's nothing particularly difficult about piping through these
programs, but a unified interface hides details like how to set
margins and how to force input or output charsets.
