Text::...b::Node(3pm)

💖 Text::MeCab::Node — the manual, bestie edition 💖

okay so real quick: the header on this page is the very squished Text::...b::Node(3pm) (that's the Text::MeCab::Node page, she's just got a long name and a narrow column, we've all been there 💅), and it lives under User Contributed Perl Documentation. Anyway. Sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, we're learning nodes.

  $node->format($mecab);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so Text::MeCab::Node is the wrapper around the mecab node structure — the thing you get handed back when you parse some text. That's it. That's the whole job. She holds one node and she holds it beautifully. 💖

👑 METHODS 👑

💅 format($mecab)

you give her a mecab instance, and she formats the node according to whatever the option arguments said — think stuff like --node-format. so basically: you bring the mecab, she brings the formatting. a collaboration. a duet. 🫶✨

and that's the whole page, bestie, no cap. it came from perl v5.42.3 dated 2026-08-20, so when you cite her, cite her right. mwah. 💜🎀
