Bug#661648: libhtml-formattext-withlinks: Mistake in man-description of parse()

[Jörg Sommer]

Package: libhtml-formattext-withlinks-perl
Version: 0.14-1
Severity: minor

Hi,

the manual page says:

   parse
           my $text = $f->parse($html);

       Takes some HTML and returns it as text. Returns undef on error.

       Will also return undef if you don't pass it undef. Returns an empty
       string if passed an empty string.

and the code contains:

sub parse {

    my $self = shift;
    my $text = shift;

    return undef unless defined $text;
    return '' if $text eq '';


The negation for undef is wrong: »Will also return undef if you pass
it undef.« The don't must be removed.

Bye, Jörg.
