+perl-HTML-FormatText-WithLinks-AndTables
+
+This module was inspired by HTML::FormatText::WithLinks which has
+proven to be a useful `lynx -dump` work-alike. However one frustration
+was that no other HTML converters I came across had the ability to deal
+affectively with HTML <TABLE>s. This module can in a rudimentary sense
+do so. The aim was to provide facility to take a simple HTML based
+email template, and to also convert it to text with the <TABLE>
+structure intact for inclusion as "multipart/alternative" content.
+Further, it will preserve both the formatting specified by the <TD>
+tag's "align" attribute, and will also preserve multiline text inside
+of a <TD> element provided it is broken using <BR/> tags.
