19 Pod::Text::Color is a simple subclass of Pod::Text that highlights
20 output text using ANSI color escape sequences. Apart from the color,
21 it in all ways functions like Pod::Text. See Pod::Text for details and
22 available options.
23
24 Term::ANSIColor is used to get colors and therefore must be installed
25 to use this module.
26
28 Pod::Text::Color 0.05 (based on Pod::Parser) was the first version of
29 this module included with Perl, in Perl 5.6.0.
30
31 The current API based on Pod::Simple was added in Pod::Text::Color
32 2.00. Pod::Text::Color 2.01 was included in Perl 5.9.3, the first
33 version of Perl to incorporate those changes.
34
35 Several problems with wrapping and line length were fixed as recently
36 as Pod::Text::Color 4.11, included in Perl 5.29.1.
37
38 This module inherits its API and most behavior from Pod::Text, so the
39 details in "COMPATIBILITY" in Pod::Text also apply. Pod::Text and
40 Pod::Text::Color have had the same module version since 4.00, included
41 in Perl 5.23.7. (They unfortunately diverge in confusing ways prior to
42 that.)
