Pod::Plainer - Perl extension for converting Pod to old-style Pod.
use Pod::Plainer; my $parser = Pod::Plainer -> new (); $parser -> parse_from_filehandle(\*STDIN);
Pod::Plainer uses Pod::Parser which takes Pod with the (new) 'C<< .. >>' constructs and returns the old(er) style with just 'C<>'; '<' and '>' are replaced by 'E<lt>' and 'E<gt>'.
This can be used to pre-process Pod before using tools which do not recognise the new style Pods.
Replace '<' and '>' by 'E<lt>' and 'E<gt>'.
Replace delimiters by '<' and '>'.
Redefine textblock from Pod::Parser to use escape_ltgt and simple_delimiters.
textblock
escape_ltgt
simple_delimiters
None by default.
