You can get the all the violation data in any format you want. Use the --verbose parameter and specify a sprintf-style format for what you want.

For example, you could use perlcritic --verbose '%p*%s*%f*%l' to get the shortened policy name, severity, file path, and line number separated by asterisks.

You could even consider specifying HTML tags in the format you give, but I wouldn't do that: Perl::Critic doesn't know anything about escaping special characters. You'll need to specify the output in some form that is easy for you to parse and then escape that before combining it with your markup.

See Perl::Critic::Violation for a description of all the possible sprintf formats you can use plus more examples.

Alternatively, you could use Perl::Critic::critique() and get the Violation objects yourself and do what you want with the attributes directly.
