14 This class is a formatter that takes Pod and renders it as RTF, good
15 for viewing/printing in MSWord, WordPad/write.exe, TextEdit, etc.
16 This is a subclass of Pod::Simple and inherits all its methods.

20 You can set these attributes on the parser object before you call
21 "parse_file" (or a similar method) on it:
22 $parser->head1_halfpoint_size( halfpoint_integer );
24 $parser->head2_halfpoint_size( halfpoint_integer );
25 $parser->head3_halfpoint_size( halfpoint_integer );
26 $parser->head4_halfpoint_size( halfpoint_integer );
27 These methods set the size (in half-points, like 52 for 26-point)
28 that these heading levels will appear as.
29 $parser->codeblock_halfpoint_size( halfpoint_integer );
31 This method sets the size (in half-points, like 21 for 10.5-point)
32 that codeblocks ("verbatim sections") will appear as.
33 $parser->header_halfpoint_size( halfpoint_integer );
35 This method sets the size (in half-points, like 15 for 7.5-point)
36 that the header on each page will appear in. The header is usually
37 just "modulename p. pagenumber".
38 $parser->normal_halfpoint_size( halfpoint_integer );
40 This method sets the size (in half-points, like 26 for 13-point)
41 that normal paragraphic text will appear in.
42 $parser->no_proofing_exemptions( true_or_false );
44 Set this value to true if you don't want the formatter to try
45 putting a hidden code on all Perl symbols (as best as it can notice
46 them) that labels them as being not in English, and so not worth
47 spellchecking.
48 $parser->doc_lang( microsoft_decimal_language_code )
50 This sets the language code to tag this document as being in. By
51 default, it is currently the value of the environment variable
52 "RTFDEFLANG", or if that's not set, then the value 1033 (for US
53 English).
54 Setting this appropriately is useful if you want to use the RTF to
56 spellcheck, and/or if you want it to hyphenate right.
57 Here are some notable values:
59 1033 US English
61 2057 UK English
62 3081 Australia English
63 4105 Canada English
64 1034 Spain Spanish
65 2058 Mexico Spanish
66 1031 Germany German
67 1036 France French
68 3084 Canada French
69 1035 Finnish
70 1044 Norwegian (Bokmal)
71 2068 Norwegian (Nynorsk)
