NAME
    MSWord::ToHTML

    Take old or new format Word files and spit out extremely clean HTML.

NOTICE
    Because of the PITA involved in processing Word files, I have punted
    most of the work to Libreoffice <http://www.libreoffice.org/> and tidy
    <http://tidy.sourceforge.net/>.

    Which means that you must have the binary programs tidy and libreoffice
    installed.

SYNOPSIS
        {
            package My::Word::Converter;

            use strict;
            use warnings;
            use MSWord::ToHTML;

            my $converter = MSWord::ToHTML->new;
            my $doc = $converter->validate_file("/home/myself/my_excellent_writing.doc");
              # This returns an instance of MSWord::ToHTML::Doc
            my $docx = $converter->validate_file("/home/myself/my_excellent_notes.docx");
              # This returns an instance of MSWord::ToHTML::DocX

            my $writing_html = $doc->get_html;
              # This returns an instance of MSWord::ToHTML::HTML
            my $notes_html = $docx->get_html;
              # This returns an instance of MSWord::ToHTML::HTML

            my $text = $notes_html->content;
              # The text content of the file.
            my $text = $writing_html->content;
              # The text content of the file.

        }

METHODS
  new
    MSWord::ToHTML is a Moose class, so new is Moose's constructor.

  validate_file
    This gets you the only thing you need, which is an object ready to give
    you its HTML.

  get_html
    This is the other important method, that gives you an
    MSWord::ToHTML::HTML object that contains:

    file
        An IO::All::File object from the html file written to your temp
        directory. I haven't tested this on Windows, but the module attempts
        to be agnostic with regards to temporary directories.

        Because of the type conversions involved, that file object stores
        its content in a scalarref, which is an IO::All::String object. To
        use it directly, use

          my $long_html_string = ${$notes_html->file};

    content
        This module does that dereferencing for you in this convenience
        method on MSWord::ToHTML::HTML.

          my $long_html_string = $notes_html->content;

    images
        A Path::Class::Dir containing all the images or static files
        associated with your html document, so that you can iterate over
        them and copy them to a destination of your choosing.

        I used Path::Class::Dir instead of IO::All's directory methods
        because it's friendlier:

          my @image_files = $writing_html->images->children;
