# Shows how to mangle all plain  text in an HTML document, using an arbitrary
# Perl expression. Plain text is all text not within a tag declaration, i.e.
# not in <p ...>, but possibly between <p> and </p>
# Example (Reverse 'Debian' in all text) :
#       lynx -dump -source -raw http://www/debian.org > /tmp/a.txt
#       ./htextsub '$_ =~ s/Debian/Naibed/gi' /tmp/a.txt
