<source lang="perl">$string = EPrints::Utils::tree_to_utf8( $tree, $width, [$pre], [$whitespace_before], [$ignore_a] )

</source>
Convert a XML DOM tree to a utf-8 encoded string.

If $width is set then word-wrap at that many characters.

XHTML elements are removed with the following exceptions:

&lt;br /&gt; is converted to a newline.

&lt;p&gt;...&lt;/p&gt; will have a blank line above and below.

&lt;img /&gt; will be replaced with the content of the alt attribute.

&lt;hr /&gt; will, if a width was specified, insert a line of dashes.

&lt;a href="foo"&gt;bar&lt;/a&gt; will be converted into "bar &lt;foo&gt;" unless ignore_a is set.
