7The HTML::Summary module produces summaries from the textual content of
8web pages. It does so using the location heuristic, which determines the value
9of a given sentence based on its position and status within the document; for
10example, headings, section titles and opening paragraph sentences may be
11favoured over other textual content. A LENGTH option can be used to restrict
12the length of the summary produced.

14This distribution contains the HTML::Summary module, and some supporting
15modules. The full list of modules is:
16
17HTML::Summary
18Text::Sentence
19Lingua::JA::Jtruncate
20
21I have bundled these modules together because this is an early release, and I
22am still open to suggestions on changes to the structure / interface.

24The HTML::Summary module provides the ability to generate summaries of HTML
25pages.
