Pod::Plainer(3pm)

Pod::Plainer3pm

Perl extension for converting pod to old-style pod.

Usage

  use Pod::Plainer;
  my $parser = Pod::Plainer -> new ();
  $parser -> parse_from_filehandle(\*STDIN);

Overview

Pod::Plainer uses Pod::Parser which takes Pod with the (new) 'C<< .. >>' constructs and returns the old(er) style with just 'C<>'; '<' and '>' are replaced by 'E<lt>' and 'E<gt>'.

This can be used to pre-process Pod before using tools which do not recognise the new style Pods.

Methods

escape_ltgt

Replace '<' and '>' by 'E<lt>' and 'E<gt>'.

simple_delimiters

Replace delimiters by '<' and '>'.

textblock

Redefine "textblock" from Pod::Parser to use "escape_ltgt" and "simple_delimiters".

Export

None by default.
