19 Pod::Text::Termcap is a simple subclass of Pod::Text that highlights
20 output text using the correct termcap escape sequences for the current
21 terminal. Apart from the format codes, it in all ways functions like
22 Pod::Text. See Pod::Text for details and available options.
23
24 This module uses Term::Cap to find the correct terminal settings. See
25 the documentation of that module for how it finds terminal database
26 information and how to override that behavior if necessary. If unable
27 to find control strings for bold and underscore formatting, that
28 formatting is skipped, resulting in the same output as Pod::Text.
