.IX Title "Pod::Simple::XHTML 3"
.TH Pod::Simple::XHTML 3 "2009-11-12" "perl v5.8.7" "User Contributed Perl Documentation"
.SH "NAME"
Pod::Simple::XHTML \-\- format Pod as validating XHTML
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
.Vb 1
\& use Pod::Simple::XHTML;
.Ve
.PP
.Vb 1
\& my $parser = Pod::Simple::XHTML\->new();
.Ve
.PP
.Vb 1
\& ...
.Ve
.PP
.Vb 1
\& $parser\->parse_file('path/to/file.pod');
.Ve
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This class is a formatter that takes Pod and renders it as \s-1XHTML\s0
validating \s-1HTML\s0.
.PP
This is a subclass of Pod::Simple::Methody and inherits all its
methods. The implementation is entirely different than
Pod::Simple::HTML, but it largely preserves the same interface.
.SH "METHODS"
.IX Header "METHODS"
Pod::Simple::XHTML offers a number of methods that modify the format of
the \s-1HTML\s0 output. Call these after creating the parser object, but before
the call to \f(CW\*(C`parse_file\*(C'\fR:
.PP
.Vb 3
\& my $parser = Pod::PseudoPod::HTML\->new();
\& $parser\->set_optional_param("value");
\& $parser\->parse_file($file);
.Ve
.Sh "perldoc_url_prefix"
.IX Subsection "perldoc_url_prefix"
In turning Foo::Bar into http://whatever/Foo%3a%3aBar, what
to put before the \*(L"Foo%3a%3aBar\*(R". The default value is
\&\*(L"http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?\*(R".
.Sh "perldoc_url_postfix"
.IX Subsection "perldoc_url_postfix"
What to put after \*(L"Foo%3a%3aBar\*(R" in the \s-1URL\s0. This option is not set by
default.
.Sh "title_prefix, title_postfix"
.IX Subsection "title_prefix, title_postfix"
What to put before and after the title in the head. The values should
already be &\-escaped.
.Sh "html_css"
.IX Subsection "html_css"
.Vb 1
\& $parser\->html_css('path/to/style.css');
.Ve
.PP
The \s-1URL\s0 or relative path of a \s-1CSS\s0 file to include. This option is not
set by default.
.Sh "html_javascript"
.IX Subsection "html_javascript"
The \s-1URL\s0 or relative path of a JavaScript file to pull in. This option is
not set by default.
.Sh "html_doctype"
.IX Subsection "html_doctype"
A document type tag for the file. This option is not set by default.
.Sh "html_header_tags"
.IX Subsection "html_header_tags"
Additional arbitrary \s-1HTML\s0 tags for the header of the document. The
default value is just a content type header tag:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&
.Ve
.PP
Add additional meta tags here, or blocks of inline \s-1CSS\s0 or JavaScript
(wrapped in the appropriate tags).
.Sh "default_title"
.IX Subsection "default_title"
Set a default title for the page if no title can be determined from the
content. The value of this string should already be &\-escaped.
.Sh "force_title"
.IX Subsection "force_title"
Force a title for the page (don't try to determine it from the content).
The value of this string should already be &\-escaped.
.Sh "html_header, html_footer"
.IX Subsection "html_header, html_footer"
Set the \s-1HTML\s0 output at the beginning and end of each file. The default
header includes a title, a doctype tag (if \f(CW\*(C`html_doctype\*(C'\fR is set), a
content tag (customized by \f(CW\*(C`html_header_tags\*(C'\fR), a tag for a \s-1CSS\s0 file
(if \f(CW\*(C`html_css\*(C'\fR is set), and a tag for a Javascript file (if
\&\f(CW\*(C`html_javascript\*(C'\fR is set). The default footer simply closes the \f(CW\*(C`html\*(C'\fR
and \f(CW\*(C`body\*(C'\fR tags.
.PP
The options listed above customize parts of the default header, but
setting \f(CW\*(C`html_header\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`html_footer\*(C'\fR completely overrides the
built-in header or footer. These may be useful if you want to use
template tags instead of literal \s-1HTML\s0 headers and footers or are
integrating converted \s-1POD\s0 pages in a larger website.
.PP
If you want no headers or footers output in the \s-1HTML\s0, set these options
to the empty string.
.Sh "index"
.IX Subsection "index"
Whether to add a table-of-contents at the top of each page (called an
index for the sake of tradition).
.SH "SUBCLASSING"
.IX Header "SUBCLASSING"
If the standard options aren't enough, you may want to subclass
Pod::Simple::XHMTL. These are the most likely candidates for methods
you'll want to override when subclassing.
.Sh "handle_text"
.IX Subsection "handle_text"
This method handles the body of text within any element: it's the body
of a paragraph, or everything between a \*(L"=begin\*(R" tag and the
corresponding \*(L"=end\*(R" tag, or the text within an L entity, etc. You would
want to override this if you are adding a custom element type that does
more than just display formatted text. Perhaps adding a way to generate
\&\s-1HTML\s0 tables from an extended version of \s-1POD\s0.
.PP
So, let's say you want add a custom element called 'foo'. In your
subclass's \f(CW\*(C`new\*(C'\fR method, after calling \f(CW\*(C`SUPER::new\*(C'\fR you'd call:
.PP
.Vb 1
\& $new\->accept_targets_as_text( 'foo' );
.Ve
.PP
Then override the \f(CW\*(C`start_for\*(C'\fR method in the subclass to check for when
\&\*(L"$flags\->{'target'}\*(R" is equal to 'foo' and set a flag that marks that
you're in a foo block (maybe \*(L"$self\->{'in_foo'} = 1\*(R"). Then override the
\&\f(CW\*(C`handle_text\*(C'\fR method to check for the flag, and pass \f(CW$text\fR to your
custom subroutine to construct the \s-1HTML\s0 output for 'foo' elements,
something like:
.PP
.Vb 8
\& sub handle_text {
\& my ($self, $text) = @_;
\& if ($self\->{'in_foo'}) {
\& $self\->{'scratch'} .= build_foo_html($text);
\& } else {
\& $self\->{'scratch'} .= $text;
\& }
\& }
.Ve
.Sh "idify"
.IX Subsection "idify"
.Vb 2
\& my $id = $pod\->idify($text);
\& my $hash = $pod\->idify($text, 1);
.Ve
.PP
This method turns an arbitrary string into a valid \s-1XHTML\s0 \s-1ID\s0 attribute value.
The rules enforced, following
, are:
.IP "\(bu" 4
The id must start with a letter (a\-z or A\-Z)
.IP "\(bu" 4
All subsequent characters can be letters, numbers (0\-9), hyphens (\-),
underscores (_), colons (:), and periods (.).
.IP "\(bu" 4
Each id must be unique within the document.
.PP
In addition, the returned value will be unique within the context of the
Pod::Simple::XHTML object unless a second argument is passed a true value. \s-1ID\s0
attributes should always be unique within a single \s-1XHTML\s0 document, but pass
the true value if you are creating not an \s-1ID\s0 but a \s-1URL\s0 hash to point to
an \s-1ID\s0 (i.e., if you need to put the \*(L"#foo\*(R" in \f(CW\*(C`foo\*(C'\fR.
