+# Pod::Text -- Convert POD data to formatted ASCII text.

+# This module converts POD to formatted text. It replaces the old Pod::Text
+# module that came with versions of Perl prior to 5.6.0 and attempts to match
+# its output except for some specific circumstances where other decisions
+# seemed to produce better output. It uses Pod::Parser and is designed to be
+# very easy to subclass.
+#
+# Perl core hackers, please note that this module is also separately
+# maintained outside of the Perl core as part of the podlators. Please send
+# me any patches at the address above in addition to sending them to the
+# standard Perl mailing lists.

+=head1 NAME
+
+Pod::Text - Convert POD data to formatted ASCII text
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ use Pod::Text;
+ my $parser = Pod::Text->new (sentence => 0, width => 78);
+
+ # Read POD from STDIN and write to STDOUT.
+ $parser->parse_from_filehandle;
+
+ # Read POD from file.pod and write to file.txt.
+ $parser->parse_from_file ('file.pod', 'file.txt');
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+Pod::Text is a module that can convert documentation in the POD format (the
+preferred language for documenting Perl) into formatted ASCII. It uses no
+special formatting controls or codes whatsoever, and its output is therefore
+suitable for nearly any device.
+
+As a derived class from Pod::Parser, Pod::Text supports the same methods and
+interfaces. See L<Pod::Parser> for all the details; briefly, one creates a
+new parser with C<< Pod::Text->new() >> and then calls either
+parse_from_filehandle() or parse_from_file().
+
+new() can take options, in the form of key/value pairs, that control the
+behavior of the parser. The currently recognized options are:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item alt
+
+If set to a true value, selects an alternate output format that, among other
+things, uses a different heading style and marks C<=item> entries with a
+colon in the left margin. Defaults to false.
+
+=item code
+
+If set to a true value, the non-POD parts of the input file will be included
+in the output. Useful for viewing code documented with POD blocks with the
+POD rendered and the code left intact.
+
+=item indent
+
+The number of spaces to indent regular text, and the default indentation for
+C<=over> blocks. Defaults to 4.
+
+=item loose
+
+If set to a true value, a blank line is printed after a C<=head1> heading.
+If set to false (the default), no blank line is printed after C<=head1>,
+although one is still printed after C<=head2>. This is the default because
+it's the expected formatting for manual pages; if you're formatting
+arbitrary text documents, setting this to true may result in more pleasing
+output.
+
+=item margin
+
+The width of the left margin in spaces. Defaults to 0. This is the margin
+for all text, including headings, not the amount by which regular text is
+indented; for the latter, see the I<indent> option. To set the right
+margin, see the I<width> option.
+
+=item quotes
+
+Sets the quote marks used to surround CE<lt>> text. If the value is a
+single character, it is used as both the left and right quote; if it is two
+characters, the first character is used as the left quote and the second as
+the right quoted; and if it is four characters, the first two are used as
+the left quote and the second two as the right quote.
+
+This may also be set to the special value C<none>, in which case no quote
+marks are added around CE<lt>> text.
+
+=item sentence
+
+If set to a true value, Pod::Text will assume that each sentence ends in two
+spaces, and will try to preserve that spacing. If set to false, all
+consecutive whitespace in non-verbatim paragraphs is compressed into a
+single space. Defaults to true.
+
+=item width
+
+The column at which to wrap text on the right-hand side. Defaults to 76.
+
+=back
+
+The standard Pod::Parser method parse_from_filehandle() takes up to two
+arguments, the first being the file handle to read POD from and the second
+being the file handle to write the formatted output to. The first defaults
+to STDIN if not given, and the second defaults to STDOUT. The method
+parse_from_file() is almost identical, except that its two arguments are the
+input and output disk files instead. See L<Pod::Parser> for the specific
+details.
+
+=head1 DIAGNOSTICS
+
+=over 4
+
+=item Bizarre space in item
+
+=item Item called without tag
+
+(W) Something has gone wrong in internal C<=item> processing. These
+messages indicate a bug in Pod::Text; you should never see them.
+
+=item Can't open %s for reading: %s
+
+(F) Pod::Text was invoked via the compatibility mode pod2text() interface
+and the input file it was given could not be opened.
+
+=item Invalid quote specification "%s"
+
+(F) The quote specification given (the quotes option to the constructor) was
+invalid. A quote specification must be one, two, or four characters long.
+
+=item %s:%d: Unknown command paragraph: %s
+
+(W) The POD source contained a non-standard command paragraph (something of
+the form C<=command args>) that Pod::Man didn't know about. It was ignored.
+
+=item %s:%d: Unknown escape: %s
+
+(W) The POD source contained an C<EE<lt>E<gt>> escape that Pod::Text didn't
+know about.
+
+=item %s:%d: Unknown formatting code: %s
+
+(W) The POD source contained a non-standard formatting code (something of
+the form C<XE<lt>E<gt>>) that Pod::Text didn't know about.
+
+=item %s:%d: Unmatched =back
+
+(W) Pod::Text encountered a C<=back> command that didn't correspond to an
+C<=over> command.
+
+=back
+
+=head1 RESTRICTIONS
+
+Embedded Ctrl-As (octal 001) in the input will be mapped to spaces on
+output, due to an internal implementation detail.
+
+=head1 NOTES
+
+This is a replacement for an earlier Pod::Text module written by Tom
+Christiansen. It has a revamped interface, since it now uses Pod::Parser,
+but an interface roughly compatible with the old Pod::Text::pod2text()
+function is still available. Please change to the new calling convention,
+though.
+
+The original Pod::Text contained code to do formatting via termcap
+sequences, although it wasn't turned on by default and it was problematic to
+get it to work at all. This rewrite doesn't even try to do that, but a
+subclass of it does. Look for L<Pod::Text::Termcap>.

+Perl core distribution as of 5.6.0.
