=head1 SYNOPSIS
unhtml is a perl script that strips HTML tags from text.
=head1 VERSION
This documentation describes version 1.3 of unhtml
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Uses HTML::Strip to do the real work; this is a wrapper around that
module that allows you to specify command line arguments - standard
input/output is assumed if no args are given. If only one arg is
given, it is assumed to be the input pathname.
=head1 USAGE
Examples (the following have equivalent results):
=over 4
=item unhtml < foo.html > foo.txt
=item unhtml foo.html > foo.txt
=item unhtml foo.html foo.txt
=back
=head1 REQUIRED ARGUMENTS
None. Acts as a STDIN/STDOUT pipe with no arguments.
=head1 OPTIONS
None.
=head1 DEPENDENCIES
Requires HTML::Strip (perl -MCPAN -e 'install HTML::Strip' as root on
any Unix-based OS will work).
