perl-Pod-Simple: Pod-Simple - framework for parsing Pod
| Name: | perl-Pod-Simple |

| Version: | 2.05 |

- Summary
- Pod::Simple is a Perl library for parsing text in the Pod ("plain old
documentation") markup language that is typically used for writing
documentation for Perl and for Perl modules. The Pod format is explained
in the L<perlpod|perlpod> man page; the most common formatter is called
"perldoc".
Pod formatters can use Pod::Simple to parse Pod documents into produce
renderings of them in plain ASCII, in HTML, or in any number of other
formats. Typically, such formatters will be subclasses of Pod::Simple,
and so they will inherit its methods, like C<parse_file>.
If you're reading this document just because you have a Pod-processing
subclass that you want to use, this document (plus the documentation for
the subclass) is probably all you'll need to read.
If you're reading this document because you want to write a formatter
subclass, continue reading this document, and then read
L<Pod::Simple::Subclassing>, and then possibly even read L<perlpodspec>
(some of which is for parser-writers, but much of which is notes to
formatter-writers).
