Pod::P...DocBook(3pm)

💖 Pod::PseudoPod::DocBook(3pm) 💖

okay bestie, it's a User Contributed Perl Documentation page, and yes it's serving Pod::P...DocBook energy in the header but the real name is Pod::PseudoPod::DocBook(3pm). We move.

---

✨ NAME ✨

Pod::PseudoPod::DocBook — formats PseudoPod as DocBook. that's it, that's the whole job, and it does it flawlessly 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

okay so here's the vibe. You set it up like this:

use Pod::PseudoPod::DocBook;

my $parser = Pod::PseudoPod::DocBook->new();

...

$parser->parse_file('path/to/file.pod');

and before you send in your manuscript (yes, your manuscript, we're fancy), pls pls pls check that the formatter actually produced a well-formed DocBook file with xmllint. Like, do not skip this step, it's giving "trust but verify":

$ xmllint --noout --valid book.xml

fr fr, run it. Your future self will thank you 🫶

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This class is a formatter — a little glow-up machine ✨ — that takes PseudoPod and renders it out as DocBook 4.4.

And here's the nepo baby moment: this is a subclass of Pod::PseudoPod and it inherits all its methods. So everything your parent class can do? It can do too. iconic behavior, honestly. 👑
