With recent debian i386 perl 5.14.2 and HTML::FormatText 2.10, the
program foo.pl below prints
Formatted to: " This is some text.
"
where I hoped that it would not have the leading space, so instead
Formatted to: "This is some text.
"
The latter is what you get if there's a <p> in the html (with or without
whitespace between it and the text).
I struck this when applying HTML::FormatText to some sloppy html which
lacked proper <p> paragraph around its text. It'd be good if
HTML::FormatText was forgiving of that sort of thing.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use HTML::FormatText;
my $html = "
<html>
<body>
This is some text.
</body>
</html>";
my $str = HTML::FormatText->format_string ($html,
leftmargin => 0,
rightmargin => 40);
print "Formatted to: \"$str\"\n";
exit 0;
