=head1 NAME

HTML::Summary - generate a summary from a web page

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 use HTML::Summary;
 use HTML::TreeBuilder;

 my $tree = HTML::TreeBuilder->new;
 $tree->parse( $document );

 my $summarizer = HTML::Summary->new(
     LENGTH      => 200,
     USE_META    => 1,
 );

 $summary = $summarizer->generate( $tree );
 $summarizer->option( 'USE_META' => 1 );
 $length = $summarizer->option( 'LENGTH' );
 if ( $summarizer->meta_used() ) {
     # do something
 }

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The C module produces summaries from the textual content of
web pages. It does so using the location heuristic, which determines the value
of a given sentence based on its position and status within the document; for
example, headings, section titles and opening paragraph sentences may be
favoured over other textual content. A LENGTH option can be used to restrict
the length of the summary produced.

=head1 CONSTRUCTOR

=head2 new( $attr1 => $value1 [, $attr2 => $value2 ] )

Possible attributes are:

=over 4

=item VERBOSE

Generate verbose messages to STDERR.

=item LENGTH

Maximum length of summary (in bytes). Default is 500.

=item USE_META

Flag to tell summarizer whether to use the content of the C<> tag
in the page header, if one is present, instead of generating a summary from the
body text. B if the USE_META flag is set, this overrides the LENGTH
flag - in other words, the summary provided by the C<> tag is
returned in full, even if it is greater than LENGTH bytes. Default is 0 (no).

=back

 my $summarizer = HTML::Summary->new(LENGTH => 200);

=head1 METHODS

=head2 option( )

Get / set HTML::Summary configuration options.

 my $length = $summarizer->option( 'LENGTH' );
 $summarizer->option( 'USE_META' => 1 );

=head2 generate( $tree )

Takes an HTML::Element object, and generates a summary from it.

 my $tree = HTML::TreeBuilder->new;
 $tree->parse( $document );
 my $summary = $summarizer->generate( $tree );

=head2 meta_used( )

Returns 1 if the META tag description was used to generate the summary.

 if ( $summarizer->meta_used() ) {
     # do something ...
 }
