podlators-5.01


Convert POD data to various other formats

Changes for 5.01 - 2022-12-25

  • Guesswork (formatting rules based on heuristics intended for Perl documentation) can now be disabled or selectively enabled in Pod::Text with the guesswork option (--guesswork to pod2text). This is similar to the support added to Pod::Man in 5.00, except there is only one type of guesswork currently (quoting).
  • Pod::Text suppresses quote marks around some additional cases of Perl code in C<> where the intent had been to suppress the quotes but there were various bugs in the matching regular expressions. This primarily affects function and method calls.
  • Fix an escaping issue in Pod::Man with complex lquote, rquote, and quotes options containing double quotes that caused some double quotes to be incorrectly duplicated.
  • Pod::Man now avoids quoting macro arguments when this is unnecessary.
  • Depend on Pod::Simple 3.26 or later, since Pod::Text now calls its encoding() method.
