App::SimpleScan::Plugin::Plaintext - check a page's text without markup

This document describes App::SimpleScan::Plugin::Plaintext version 1.00

    # Normal test specs use the entire HTML text
    http://perl.org/ /books<\/a>\n \| / Y Sites list HTML

    # If we want to match just the text, not the HTML:
    %%plaintext on
    http://perl.org/  /|books \| dev \| history \| jobs/ Y Literal list

    # And we can turn this back off again:
    %%plaintext off

This plugin adds the %%plaintext pragma. This allows you to write test specs that match the visible text on a page, as opposed to the HTML text. This is useful if you want to make sure (for instance) if specific text is on the page, but you don't care how it's marked up.

Exports the %%plaintext pragma handler to App::SimpleScan.

Actually handles the pragma statement. Calls the exported plaintext method to record the current state (on or off).

Standard App::SimpleScan callback; returns the code filters.

If the plaintext method returns true, we alter the tests to use text_like and text_unlike instead of page_like and page_unlike. In eitehr case, we return the code to the caller (standard interface).

Invalid argument for %%plaintext: %s

You supplied an argument other than '1' or 'on' to turn plaintext processing on, or '0' or 'off' to turn it off.

App::SimpleScan::Plugin::Plaintext requires no configuration files or environment variables.

App::SimpleScan, Class:Accessot::Fast.
