HTML -> text/plain "clever" formatting

Hi,

I make an app where I need to convert HTML to text in a "clever" way (means
it tries to mimic when possible a browser rendering).
Actually I spawn with popen2 a "lynx" that makes a perfect job.

But I need a 100% pythonic stuff to have my app (Zope product) running on
non Unix boxes.

Any hint ?

Thanks in advance.

i've seen an example in python cookbook, but do not have the copy with
me right now. If you have that book, look at the example to send HTML
mails. keywords are htmllib and formatter/AbstractFormatter.
IIRC they mention it's not that perfect as doing the same with lynx.
Don't know if the onlineversion at activestate does have this example.

That would be 100% pythonic even w/o external stuff.

Thanks Karl, I found what you're talking about

http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Coo...n/Recipe/52297

Need to rework that TtyFormatter in depth to mimic lynx :o)

Cheers

import cStringIO
import formatter

def htdecode(a):
f=cStringIO.StringIO()
z=formatter.AbstractFormatter(formatter.DumbWriter (f))
p=htmllib.HTMLParser(z)
p.feed(urllib.unquote_plus(a))
p.close()
sret=f.getvalue()
f.close()
return(sret)

a="""<HTML><BODY><B> Bonjour%20!%20<BR>
Ligne 2</B></BODY></HTML>"""

print '\n--- en HTML','-'*30
print a

b=htdecode(a)

print '\n\n--- sans HTML','-'*28
print b

Hi Gilles

actually I was talking about a different even similar example.
But could not find it either in the online version. So maybe
this is available only in the printed version, sorry.
But if your recipe is good enough , why bother :-)
