You scanned the list too quickly.

I understand most astronomers and cosmologists agree that number 1, "Red giant expansion of our Sun burns up the Earth", will happen no more than 5 billion years from now. The physical earth will be toasted, torn apart and absorbed.

Also, number 7, "The Big Crunch", probably refers to the expansion of the universe ending and then collapsing to the opposite of the big bang. I understand most believe this will not happen. But if it did, the physical earth would end up being compressed into the singularity.

And the last one, "Scientists trying to simulate a black hole will succeed", silly as it is, would physically destroy the earth.

NAME
Wiki::Toolkit::Formatter::Multiple - Allows a Wiki::Toolkit wiki to use more than one formatter. DESCRIPTION
A "dummy" formatter for Wiki::Toolkit. Passes methods through to other Wiki::Toolkit formatters, depending on supplied metadata. SYNOPSIS
use Wiki::Toolkit::Formatter::Multiple; use Wiki::Toolkit::Formatter::Pod; use Wiki::Toolkit::Formatter::UseMod; my $pod_fmtr = Wiki::Toolkit::Formatter::Pod->new( node_prefix => "wiki.cgi?node=", ); my $usemod_fmtr = Wiki::Toolkit::Formatter::UseMod->new( node_prefix => "wiki.cgi?node=", extended_links => 1, allowed_tags => [ qw( p b i div br ) ], ); my $formatter = Wiki::Toolkit::Formatter::Multiple->new( documentation => $pod_fmtr, discussion => $usemod_fmtr, _DEFAULT => $usemod_fmtr, ); my $wiki = Wiki::Toolkit->new( store => ..., formatter => $formatter ); my $output = $wiki->format( "This is some discussion.", { formatter => "discussion" } ); METHODS
new my $formatter = Wiki::Toolkit::Formatter::Multiple->new( label_1 => Formatter1->new( ... ), label_2 => Formatter2->new( ... ), _DEFAULT => Wiki::Toolkit::Formatter::Default->new, ); You may supply as many formatter objects as you wish. They don't have to be of different classes; you may just wish to, for example, permit different HTML tags to be used on different types of pages. The "labels" supplied as the keys of the parameter hash should be unique. When you write a node, you should store a key-value pair in its metadata where the key is "formatter" and the value is the label of the formatter that should be used to render that node. The "_DEFAULT" label is special - it defines the formatter that will be used for any node that does not have a "formatter" stored in its metadata. The "_DEFAULT" formatter, if not supplied to "->new", will default to the very basic Wiki::Toolkit::Formatter::Default. format( $raw, \%metadata ) my $output = $formatter->format( "Here is some text.", undef, { formatter => "discussion" } ); Uses the value of "formatter" given in the metadata to decide which of the formatter objects passed on instantiation to use, then uses it to format the provided rawwikitext. The "undef" second element of the parameter array in the example is there because when this is called from a Wiki::Toolkit object, the wiki object passes itself in as the second parameter. find_internal_links( $raw, $metadata ) SEE ALSO
