NAME

Pod::Elemental::Transformer::PPIHTML - convert "=begin perl" and shebang-marked blocks to XHTML

VERSION

version 0.093582

DESCRIPTION

This transformer, based on Pod::Elemental::Transformer::SynHi, looks for regions like this:

  =begin perl

    my $x = 1_00_000 ** $::xyzzy;

  =end perl

...into syntax-highlighted HTML that I can't really usefully represent here. It uses PPI::HTML, so you can read more about the kind of HTML it will produce, there.

This form is also accepted, in a verbatim paragraph:

  #!perl
  my $x = 1_00_000 ** $::xyzzy;

In the above example, the shebang-like line will be stripped.

The format_name attribute may be supplied during the construction of the transformer to look for a region other than perl.

PERL VERSION

This library should run on perls released even a long time ago. It should work on any version of perl released in the last five years.

Although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made that the minimum required version will not be increased. The version may be increased for any reason, and there is no promise that patches will be accepted to lower the minimum required perl.
