[Htmlparser-developer] toPlainTextString() feedback requested

[Somik R. <so...@ya...>]

Hi Folks,
  We are performing a series of refactorings, which
will involve merging of the functionality of
toPlainTextString() and toHTML(HTMLRenderer), and
perhaps, toHTML() itself..

  We'd like to know user stories of how you've been
using toPlainTextString().

Do you enumerate through the nodes and :
[1] collect all the text data using
toPlainTextString() into a buffer? 

[2] make calls to toPlainTextString() but don't
collect the data ? 

[3] collect all text data using toPlainTextString()
into a buffer, but only after having processed the
string in some way ? 

Another question - if we remove toPlainTextString()
[and provide you an alternative], will it hurt, or
would you prefer a deprecation step (in 1.3) before
removal (in 1.4) ?

It would be good for us to know more details about
your applications, so that we can perform our design
modifications correctly. Feel free to tell us your
stories in detail. (Remember to click Reply All so the
replies go to both lists).

Regards,
Somik
