Text::Emoticon::MSN(3)User Contributed Perl DocumentatioText::Emoticon::MSN(3)

NAME
       Text::Emoticon::MSN - Emoticon filter of MSN Messenger

SYNOPSIS
	 use Text::Emoticon::MSN;

	 my $emoticon = Text::Emoticon::MSN->new(
	     imgbase => "http://example.com/emo",
	 );

	 my $text = "Yet Another Perl Hacker ;-)";
	 print $emoticon->filter($text);

	 # it prints
	 # Yet Another Perl Hacker <img src="http://example.com/emo/regular_smile.gif" />

DESCRIPTION
       Text::Emoticon::MSN is a text filter that replaces text emoticons like
       ":-)", ";-P", etc. to the icons of MSN Messenger, detailed in
       http://messenger.msn.com/Resource/Emoticons.aspx

METHODS
       new
	     $emoticon = Text::Emoticon::MSN->new(
		 imgbase => "http://yourhost.example.com/images/emoticons",
		 xhtml	 => 1,
		 class	 => "emoticon",
	     );

	   Constructs new Text::Emoticon::MSN object. It accepts two options:

	   imgbase
		 Base URL where icon gif files are located. It defaults to
		 "http://messenger.msn.com/Resource/emoticons" (the MSN site)
		 but I don't recommend that, as there's a possibility MSN will
		 ban your site.

	   xhtml Whether it uses XHTML style img tags. It defaults to 1.

	   class CSS class used in "img" tags. It defaults to nothing.

		   $emoticon = Text::Emoticon::MSN->new(class => "emo");

		 will print:

		   <img src="blah.gif" class="emo" />

	   strict
		 Whether it will disable smileys with space in them.  defaults
		 to 0.

       filter
	     $filtered_text = $emoticon->filter($text);

	   Filters emoticons in text and returns "img" tagged text (HTML).

TODO
       ·   Handling original emoticons. (Patches welcome)

       ·   Common API for other Emoticons like Yahoo! (maybe Text::Emoticons)
