=head1 NAME

Pod::PlainText - Convert POD data to formatted ASCII text

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Pod::PlainText;
    my $parser = Pod::PlainText->new (sentence => 0, width => 78);

    # Read POD from STDIN and write to STDOUT.
    $parser->parse_from_filehandle;

    # Read POD from file.pod and write to file.txt.
    $parser->parse_from_file ('file.pod', 'file.txt');

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Pod::PlainText is a module that can convert documentation in the POD format (the
preferred language for documenting Perl) into formatted ASCII.  It uses no
special formatting controls or codes whatsoever, and its output is therefore
suitable for nearly any device.

As a derived class from Pod::Parser, Pod::PlainText supports the same methods and
interfaces.  See L<Pod::Parser> for all the details; briefly, one creates a
new parser with C<Pod::PlainText-E<gt>new()> and then calls either
parse_from_filehandle() or parse_from_file().

new() can take options, in the form of key/value pairs, that control the
behavior of the parser.  The currently recognized options are:

=over 4

=item alt

If set to a true value, selects an alternate output format that, among other
things, uses a different heading style and marks C<=item> entries with a
colon in the left margin.  Defaults to false.

=item indent

The number of spaces to indent regular text, and the default indentation for
C<=over> blocks.  Defaults to 4.

=item loose

If set to a true value, a blank line is printed after a C<=head1> heading.
If set to false (the default), no blank line is printed after C<=head1>,
although one is still printed after C<=head2>.  This is the default because
it's the expected formatting for manual pages; if you're formatting
arbitrary text documents, setting this to true may result in more pleasing
output.

=item sentence

If set to a true value, Pod::PlainText will assume that each sentence ends in two
spaces, and will try to preserve that spacing.  If set to false, all
consecutive whitespace in non-verbatim paragraphs is compressed into a
single space.  Defaults to true.

=item width

The column at which to wrap text on the right-hand side.  Defaults to 76.

=back

The standard Pod::Parser method parse_from_filehandle() takes up to two
arguments, the first being the file handle to read POD from and the second
being the file handle to write the formatted output to.  The first defaults
to STDIN if not given, and the second defaults to STDOUT.  The method
parse_from_file() is almost identical, except that its two arguments are the
input and output disk files instead.  See L<Pod::Parser> for the specific
details.

=head1 DIAGNOSTICS

=over 4

=item Bizarre space in item

(W) Something has gone wrong in internal C<=item> processing.  This message
indicates a bug in Pod::PlainText; you should never see it.

=item Can't open %s for reading: %s

(F) Pod::PlainText was invoked via the compatibility mode pod2text() interface
and the input file it was given could not be opened.

=item Unknown escape: %s

(W) The POD source contained an C<EE<lt>E<gt>> escape that Pod::PlainText didn't
know about.

=item Unknown sequence: %s

(W) The POD source contained a non-standard internal sequence (something of
the form C<XE<lt>E<gt>>) that Pod::PlainText didn't know about.

=item Unmatched =back

(W) Pod::PlainText encountered a C<=back> command that didn't correspond to an
C<=over> command.

=back

=head1 RESTRICTIONS

Embedded Ctrl-As (octal 001) in the input will be mapped to spaces on
output, due to an internal implementation detail.

=head1 NOTES

This is a replacement for an earlier Pod::Text module written by Tom
Christiansen.  It has a revamped interface, since it now uses Pod::Parser,
but an interface roughly compatible with the old Pod::Text::pod2text()
function is still available.  Please change to the new calling convention,
though.

The original Pod::Text contained code to do formatting via termcap
sequences, although it wasn't turned on by default and it was problematic to
get it to work at all.  This rewrite doesn't even try to do that, but a
subclass of it does.  Look for L<Pod::Text::Termcap|Pod::Text::Termcap>.
