6 Pod::Plainer - Perl extension for converting Pod to old-style Pod.

9 use Pod::Plainer;
10
11 my $parser = Pod::Plainer -> new ();
12 $parser -> parse_from_filehandle(\*STDIN);
13
15 Pod::Plainer uses Pod::Parser which takes Pod with the (new) 'C<< ..
16 >>' constructs and returns the old(er) style with just 'C<>'; '<' and
17 '>' are replaced by 'E<lt>' and 'E<gt>'.
18
19 This can be used to pre-process Pod before using tools which do not
20 recognise the new style Pods.
21
22 METHODS
23 escape_ltgt
24 Replace '<' and '>' by 'E<lt>' and 'E<gt>'.
25
26 simple_delimiters
27 Replace delimiters by '<' and '>'.
28
29 textblock
30 Redefine "textblock" from Pod::Parser to use "escape_ltgt" and
31 "simple_delimiters".
32
33 EXPORT
34 None by default.
