pod::text::overstrike
Pod::Text::Overstrike(3pm) Perl Programmers Reference Guide Pod::Text::Overstrike(3pm)
NAME
Pod::Text::Overstrike - Convert POD data to formatted overstrike text
SYNOPSIS
use Pod::Text::Overstrike;
my $parser = Pod::Text::Overstrike->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');
DESCRIPTION
Pod::Text::Overstrike is a simple subclass of Pod::Text that highlights output text using overstrike sequences, in a manner similar to
nroff. Characters in bold text are overstruck (character, backspace, character) and characters in underlined text are converted to over-
struck underscores (underscore, backspace, character). This format was originally designed for hardcopy terminals and/or lineprinters, yet
is readable on softcopy (CRT) terminals.
Overstruck text is best viewed by page-at-a-time programs that take advantage of the terminal's stand-out and underline capabilities, such
as the less program on Unix.
Apart from the overstrike, it in all ways functions like Pod::Text. See Pod::Text for details and available options.
BUGS
Currently, the outermost formatting instruction wins, so for example underlined text inside a region of bold text is displayed as simply
bold. There may be some better approach possible.
