NAME

6       Locale::Po4a::Text - convert text documents from/to PO files
7

DESCRIPTION

9       The po4a (PO for anything) project goal is to ease translations (and
10       more interestingly, the maintenance of translations) using gettext
11       tools on areas where they were not expected like documentation.
12
13       Locale::Po4a::Text is a module to help the translation of text
14       documents into other [human] languages.
15
16       Paragraphs are split on empty lines (or lines containing only spaces or
17       tabulations).
18
19       If a paragraph contains a line starting by a space (or tabulation),
20       this paragraph won't be rewrapped.
21

OPTIONS ACCEPTED BY THIS MODULE

23       These are this module's particular options:
24
25       keyvalue
26           Treat paragraphs that look like a key value pair as verbatim (with
27           the no-wrap flag in the PO file).  Key value pairs are defined as a
28           line containing one or more non-colon and non-space characters
29           followed by a colon followed by at least one non-space character
30           before the end of the line.
31
32       nobullets
33           Deactivate the detection of bullets.
34
35           By default, when a bullet is detected, the bullet paragraph is not
36           considered as a verbatim paragraph (with the no-wrap flag in the PO
37           file). Instead, the corresponding paragraph is rewrapped in the
38           translation.
39
40       tabs=mode
41           Specify how tabulations shall be handled. The mode can be any of:
42
43           split
44               Lines with tabulations introduce breaks in the current
45               paragraph.
46
47           verbatim
48               Paragraph containing tabulations will not be re-wrapped.
49
50           By default, tabulations are considered as spaces.
51
52       breaks=regex
53           A regular expression matching lines which introduce breaks.  The
54           regular expression will be anchored so that the whole line must
55           match.
56
57       debianchangelog
58           Handle the header and footer of released versions, which only
59           contain non translatable informations.
60
61       fortunes
62           Handle the fortunes format, which separate fortunes with a line
63           which consists in '%' or '%%', and use '%%' as the beginning of a
64           comment.
65
66       markdown
67           Handle some special markup in Markdown-formatted texts.
68
69       yfm_keys (markdown-only)
70           Comma-separated list of keys to process for translation in the YAML
71           Front Matter section. All other keys are skipped. Keys are matched
72           with a case-insensitive match. Array values are always translated,
73           unless the yfm_skip_array option is provided.
74
75       yfm_skip_array (markdown-only)
76           Do not translate array values in the YAML Front Matter section.
77
78       control[=taglist]
79           Handle control files.  A comma-separated list of tags to be
80           translated can be provided.
81
82       neverwrap
83           Prevent po4a from wrapping any lines. This means that every content
84           is handled verbatim, even simple paragraphs.
