For the most part, the B<Pod::Parser> base class should be able to
do most of the input parsing for you and leave you free to worry about
-how to intepret the commands and translate the result.
+how to interpret the commands and translate the result.
Note that all we have described here in this quick overview is the
simplest most straightforward use of B<Pod::Parser> to do stream-based
The parameter C<$text> is a string or block of text to be parsed
for interior sequences; and the parameter C<$line_num> is the
-line number curresponding to the beginning of C<$text>.
+line number corresponding to the beginning of C<$text>.
B<parse_text()> will parse the given text into a parse-tree of "nodes."
and interior-sequences. Each "node" in the parse tree is either a
$seq->append($expand_text ? &$xtext_sub($self,$_,$seq) : $_);
}
## Keep track of line count
- $line += tr/\n//;
+ $line += s/\r*\n//;
## Remember the "current" sequence
$seq = $seq_stack[-1];

+
+Please note that POD has the notion of "paragraphs": this is something
+starting I<after> a blank (read: empty) line, with the single exception
+of the file start, which is also starting a paragraph. That means that
+especially a command (e.g. C<=head1>) I<must> be preceded with a blank
+line; C<__END__> is I<not> a blank line.
