[Xapian-discuss] how to display the results in html which we r showing on konsole

[Kevin SoftDev]

#!/usr/bin/perl

# I developed my own PERL routine that converts HTML to readable text format


# that can be display from console. I do not guarantee that will take care
or

# all the crazy thing people write in their HTML but it should take of most

# properly formatted HTML. Please go ahead and improve it if you see a place


# for improvement and let me know, thanks ...
