The Pod format is explained in <a href="/pod/perlpod">perlpod</a>; the most common formatter is called <code>perldoc</code>.</p> <p>Be sure to read <a href="#ENCODING">"ENCODING"</a> if your Pod contains non-ASCII characters.</p> <p>Pod formatters can use Pod::Simple to parse Pod documents and render them into plain text, HTML, or any number of other formats. Typically, such formatters will be subclasses of Pod::Simple, and so they will inherit its methods, like <code>parse_file</code>. But note that Pod::Simple doesn't understand and properly parse Perl itself, so if you have a file which contains a Perl program that has a multi-line quoted string which has lines that look like pod, Pod::Simple will treat them as pod. This can be avoided if the file makes these into indented here documents instead.</p> <p>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 need to read.</p> <p>If you're reading this document because you want to write a formatter subclass, continue reading it and then read <a href="/pod/distribution/Pod-Simple/lib/Pod/Simple/Subclassing.pod">Pod::Simple::Subclassing</a>, and then possibly even read <a href="/pod/perlpodspec">perlpodspec</a> (some of which is for parser-writers, but much of which is notes to formatter-writers).</p> <h1 id="MAIN-METHODS"><a id="MAIN"></a>MAIN METHODS</h1> <dl> <dt id="$parser-=-SomeClass->new();"><a id="parser-SomeClass-new"></a><code>$parser = <i>SomeClass</i>->new();</code></dt> <dd> <p>This returns a new parser object, where <i><code>SomeClass</code></i> is a subclass of Pod::Simple.</p> </dd> <dt id="$parser->output_fh(-*OUT-);"><a id="output_fh"></a><a id="parser-output_fh-OUT"></a><code>$parser->output_fh( *OUT );</code></dt> <dd> <p>This sets the filehandle that <code>$parser</code>'s output will be written to.

This can be annoying for outputs such as HTML, where that whitespace will remain in front of every line. It's an unfortunate case where syntax is turned into semantics.</p> <p>If the POD you're parsing adheres to a consistent indentation policy, you can have such indentation stripped from the beginning of every line of your verbatim blocks. This method tells Pod::Simple what to strip. For two-space indents, you'd use:</p> <pre><code>$parser->strip_verbatim_indent(' ');</code></pre> <p>For tab indents, you'd use a tab character:</p> <pre><code>$parser->strip_verbatim_indent("\t");</code></pre> <p>If the POD is inconsistent about the indentation of verbatim blocks, but you have figured out a heuristic to determine how much a particular verbatim block is indented, you can pass a code reference instead. The code reference will be executed with one argument, an array reference of all the lines in the verbatim block, and should return the value to be stripped from each line. For example, if you decide that you're fine to use the first line of the verbatim block to set the standard for indentation of the rest of the block, you can look at the first line and return the appropriate value, like so:</p> <pre><code>$new->strip_verbatim_indent(sub { my $lines = shift; (my $indent = $lines->[0]) =~ s/\S.*//; return $indent; });</code></pre> <p>If you'd rather treat each line individually, you can do that, too, by just transforming them in-place in the code reference and returning <code>undef</code>. Say that you don't want <i>any</i> lines indented. You can do something like this:</p> <pre><code>$new->strip_verbatim_indent(sub { my $lines = shift; sub { s/^\s+// for @{ $lines }, return undef; });</code></pre> </dd> <dt id="$parser->expand_verbatim_tabs(-n-)"><a id="expand_verbatim_tabs"></a><a id="parser-expand_verbatim_tabs-n"></a><code>$parser->expand_verbatim_tabs( <i>n</i> )</code></dt> <dd> <p>Default: 8</p> <p>If after any stripping of indentation in verbatim blocks, there remain tabs, this method call indicates what to do with them. <code>0</code> means leave them as tabs, any other number indicates that each tab is to be translated so as to have tab stops every <code>n</code> columns.</p> <p>This is independent of other methods (except that it operates after any verbatim input stripping is done).</p> <p>Like the other methods, the input parameter is not checked for validity. <code>undef</code> or containing non-digits has the same effect as 8.</p> </dd> </dl> <h1 id="TERTIARY-METHODS"><a id="TERTIARY"></a>TERTIARY METHODS</h1> <dl> <dt id="$parser->abandon_output_fh()"><a id="abandon_output_fh"></a><a id="parser-abandon_output_fh"></a><code>$parser->abandon_output_fh()</code></dt> <dd> <p>Cancel output to the file handle.

(If the POD source contains only ASCII bytes, the encoding is assumed to be ASCII.)</p> <p>If you set the <code>parse_characters</code> option to a true value the parser will expect characters rather than octets; will ignore any <code>=encoding</code>; and will make no attempt to decode the input.</p> <h1 id="SEE-ALSO"><a id="SEE"></a>SEE ALSO</h1> <p><a href="/pod/distribution/Pod-Simple/lib/Pod/Simple/Subclassing.pod">Pod::Simple::Subclassing</a></p> <p><a href="/pod/perlpod">perlpod</a></p> <p><a href="/pod/perlpodspec">perlpodspec</a></p> <p><a href="/pod/Pod::Escapes">Pod::Escapes</a></p> <p><a href="/pod/perldoc">perldoc</a></p> <h1 id="SUPPORT">SUPPORT</h1> <p>Questions or discussion about POD and Pod::Simple should be sent to the pod-people@perl.org mail list.
