Re: How to use HTML::Parser to encode text with HTML entities?

Re: Strip HTML tags again and my follow-up are probably exactly what you want. They use HTML::TokeParser::Simple to parse and HTML::Tagset to decide what is "text" and what is supposed to be a tag. HTML::Parser is a bit bare bones and I wouldn't recommend it over the TokeParser modules (or HTML::TreeBuilder).

and my follow-up are probably exactly what you want. Naive approach, treats the text between script/style tags as plaintext. See http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/GAAS/HTML-Parser-3.68/eg/htext and HTML::StripScripts, HTML stripper..., strip HTML tags	[reply]

It wasn't given here as the way to do stripping but as an approach to simple parsing with custom tags toward any end.	[reply]
