Hi,

I'm trying to convert some HTML text into simple plain text (with newlines where they should be, etc)

Example data:

Potentially HTML:arser would be your solution: (

Another useful module is HTML::FormatText: (

Hi,

Thanks, HTML::FormatText did exactly what I needed (guess I was just using the wrong search terms )

Thanks again
