Pod::S...:Twiki(3pm)
π Pod::S...:Twiki(3pm) β like, the whole vibe π
okay bestie, you found it: this is the Pod::Simple::Wiki::Twiki page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of the manual (yes, the title line literally goes Pod::S...:Twiki(3pm) on both ends, she's symmetrical like that π
). Buckle up, it's short but it's iconic.
β¨ NAME β¨
Pod::Simple::Wiki::Twiki β a class for creating Pod to Twiki wiki filters. that's the whole job description, and she does it flawlessly π
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
first things first β do not try to use this module directly. it's not that kind of girl. she gets called via Pod::Simple::Wiki, like so:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Pod::Simple::Wiki;
my $parser = Pod::Simple::Wiki->new('twiki');
...
see that 'twiki'? that's you telling Pod::Simple::Wiki which flavour of wiki you want. chef's kiss π«Ά
and if you're the type who likes a one-liner moment (same, honestly), you can convert Pod to Twiki wiki format using the installed pod2wiki utility:
pod2wiki --style twiki file.pod > file.wiki
and that's it, that's the conversion. --style twiki in, .wiki out. periodt. β¨
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
okay so the Pod::Simple::Wiki::Twiki module is the thing that converts Pod text into Wiki text. that's literally the entire plot. π
and what's Pod? Pod stands for Plain Old Documentation β it's a simple markup language used for writing Perl documentation. lowkey humble name, highkey essential. π
for an introduction to Twiki, see: http://twiki.org β go peek, bestie, it's giving wiki energy π
now, important: this module isn't generally invoked directly. she's a behind-the-scenes main character. instead she gets called via Pod::Simple::Wiki. so if you want the real tea, go read the Pod::Simple::Wiki and pod2wiki documentation for more info. iykyk π
π METHODS π
Pod::Simple::Wiki::Twiki inherits all of the methods of Pod::Simple and Pod::Simple::Wiki. she's got generational talent, no cap.
see Pod::Simple and Pod::Simple::Wiki for more details. π
π₯ SEE ALSO π₯
this module also installs a pod2wiki command line utility. see pod2wiki --help for details β yes, just ask her nicely. π₯Ί
