🌸 NAME 🌸

Omggg bestie, this is Pod::Perldoc::ToANSI — the page for Pod::Pe...:ToANSI(3pm) in the Perl Programmers Reference Guide. Its whole vibe? Render Pod with ANSI color escapes. ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

Run this, bestie:

perldoc -o ansi Some::Modulename

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Okay so this is a "plug-in" class that lets Perldoc use Pod::Text as a formatter class. So iconic. 💅

It supports these options, and they’re explained in Pod::Text:

  • alt
  • indent
  • loose
  • quotes
  • sentence
  • width

For example:

perldoc -o term -w indent:5 Some::Modulename

💀 CAVEAT 💀

Heads up, bestie: this module may change to use a different text formatter class in the future, and this may change what options are supported. So don’t get too attached to the current option lineup, fr fr. 😭
