💖 wml::fmt::pod — bestie's guide to the POD format 💖

okay so this is wml::fmt::pod from the EN Tools crew, and it is literally the Plain Old Document (POD) Format module. yes the acronym is doing a lot of work there but we love her anyway 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

like, here's the whole vibe:

#use wml::fmt::pod

<: print &wml_fmt_pod({ FILE => $file, ... }); :>

<pod [keepindex] [keephr] [nonetscape] [notypo] [eperlfilter=func]>
=head1 ...
...
=head2 ...
...
</pod>

no notes, it's giving clean 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

the usage is simple, bestie. you just surround all your POD source text with the pod container tag, and then you write POD format inside it exactly like you would when writing plain POD documents. that's it. that's the whole thing. 🎀

the corresponding HTML code gets created via Perl's pod2html filter — she's the one doing the actual converting, we're just holding her hand.

ATTENTION!! 🚨 okay this part is important, not me being dramatic for once. there are a lot of pod2html versions floating around out there from the various Perl versions, and they are NOT all the same girl. I really recommend you use the pod2html from Perl 5.004! fr fr. pick that one. 💯
