However one frustration was that no other \s-1HTML\s0 converters I came across had the ability to deal affectively with \s-1HTML\s0 <\s-1TABLE\s0>s. This module can in a rudimentary sense do so. The aim was to provide facility to take a simple \s-1HTML\s0 based email template, and to also convert it to text with the <\s-1TABLE\s0> structure intact for inclusion as \*(L"multipart/alternative\*(R" content. Further, it will preserve both the formatting specified by the <\s-1TD\s0> tag's \*(L"align\*(R" attribute, and will also preserve multiline text inside of a <\s-1TD\s0> element provided it is broken using <\s-1BR/\s0> tags. .SS "\s-1EXPORT\s0" .IX Subsection "EXPORT" None by default. .SH "METHODS" .IX Header "METHODS" .SS "convert" .IX Subsection "convert" .SH "EXAMPLE" .IX Header "EXAMPLE" Given the \s-1HTML\s0 below ... .PP .Vb 10 \&
