# HTTP::Proxy::BodyFilter::htmltext(3pm)

A filter to transmogrify HTML text

## NAME

HTTP::Proxy::BodyFilter::htmltext - A filter to transmogrify HTML text

## SYNOPSIS

```
    use HTTP::Proxy::BodyFilter::tags;
    use HTTP::Proxy::BodyFilter::htmltext;
    # could it be any simpler?
    $proxy->push_filter(
        mime     => 'text/html',
        response => HTTP::Proxy::BodyFilter::tags->new,
        response => HTTP::Proxy::BodyFilter::htmltext->new(
            sub { tr/a-zA-z/n-za-mN-ZA-M/ }
        )
    );
```

## DESCRIPTION

The HTTP::Proxy::BodyFilter::htmltext is a filter spawner that calls the callback of your choice on any HTML text (outside  `"<script>"` and `"<style>"` tags, and entities).

The subroutine should modify the content of `$_` as it sees fit. Simple, and terribly efficient.

## METHODS

The filter defines the following methods, called automatically:

- **init()**

  Ensures that the filter is initialised with a CODE reference.

- **begin()**

  Per page parser initialisation.

- **filter()**

  A simple HTML parser that runs the given callback on the text contained in the HTML data. Please look at HTTP::Proxy::BodyFilter::htmlparser if you need something more elaborate.
