6 filter
7 Inspects the source document for a begin/end block named ":overlay".
8 The overlay block will be inspected for "=overlay" commands, which
9 should be structured like:
10
11 =begin :overlay
12
13 =overlay METHODS Some::Class::Or::File
14
15 =end :overlay
16
17 Each overlay is processed in order. It will add any headings for the
18 matched sections in the current document from the named source, for any
19 heading that is not already present in the given section.
20
21 If that doesn't make sense just try it and it will!
22
23 The main utility of this is to specify a superclass, so that all the
24 methods that are not documented in your subclass become documented by
25 the overlay. The "sort" filter makes a good follow up.
26
27 The start of overlaid sections will include:
28
29 =for overlay from <class-or-file>
30
31 You can use these markers to set sections to be replaced by some other
32 document, or to repeat an overlay on an already processed Pod file.
33 Changes to existing marked sections are made in-place without changing
34 document order.
