* VERSION: podlators 1.04 released.

(textblock): Likewise.
(cmd_head1): Output .PD and reset ITEMS if ITEMS > 1.
(cmd_head2): Likewise.

output .PD 0 before the second.

the caller and output .PD and reset ITEMS if ITEMS > 1.
* lib/Pod/Text.pm: Fix incorrect mappings for E<Iacute> and
E<iacute>, reported by Sean Burke.
2000-10-08 Russ Allbery <rra@stanford.edu>

for C<> to be double quotes rather than matched left/right single
quotes.

characters around C<> text.
(initialize): Parse the new quotes option to set the configurable
quote characters.

Make a new copy of the preamble for each file so that the
fixed-width font and the quote characters may change between
different Pod::Man objects and different files.
* lib/Pod/Text.pm (initialize): Added support for a quotes option
to specify what quotes to use around C<> text.
(seq_c): Use the configurable quote characters.
* lib/Pod/Text.pm (command): Check using can() before calling cmd_
handlers and report a nice error when encountering an unknown
paragraph command.

2000-09-02 Russ Allbery <rra@stanford.edu>
* lib/Pod/Text.pm: Add sol and verbar to the escapes.
* lib/Pod/Man.pm: Likewise.
* lib/Pod/Text.pm (pod2text): When given two arguments, was
incorrectly assigning to $_[0], causing other strange problems.
* lib/Pod/Man.pm (cmd_item): Fix the regex for stripping bullets
from index entries so that it doesn't strip a leading 'o'.
2000-04-30 Russ Allbery <rra@stanford.edu>
* lib/Pod/Man.pm: In the prelude, terminate the .IX definition
with .. instead of ". ." for groff.
2000-04-25 Russ Allbery <rra@stanford.edu>

content.

line starting with a backslash.
(cmd_item): Replace embedded newlines in titles with spaces.
* scripts/pod2man.PL: Hide '-' arguments from Getopt::Long so that
Pod::Parser will interpret them as STDIN or STDOUT. Remove
needless use vars.
* scripts/pod2text.PL: Likewise.
* scripts/pod2text.PL: Don't default to Pod::Text::Termcap even if
STDOUT is a tty until it works right on Windows, VMS, etc.
* scripts/pod2man.PL: Change Getopt::Long config from bundling to
bundling_override so that options like -center work for backwards
compatibility.
2000-03-07 Russ Allbery <rra@stanford.edu>
* scripts/pod2man.PL: Change pod2txt to pod2man in SYNOPSIS.
2000-03-06 Russ Allbery <rra@stanford.edu>

incorporated in Perl core. Updated self-references in the
documentation, changed "stati" to "statuses."
* lib/Pod/Man.pm: Set version number to 1.00, change references to
pod2roff to pod2man in the documentation, and remove the note about
this module replacing pod2man in Perl core.
* lib/Pod/Man.pm (initialize): Use "perl v5.6.0" instead of "perl
5.6, patch 0" for the default release string, handle both pre-5.6
and post-5.6 version numbering schemes.

(begin_pod): Zero-pad the month and day in the modification date.
(sequence): Add a temporary variable for L<> text rather than
blessing the sub return to work around a 5.6 bug.

avoid warnings under -w.
2000-03-05 Russ Allbery <rra@stanford.edu>

escapes as well.
(initialize): Avoid warnings when center, date, or release aren't
set.
(begin_pod): Make filename munging safe even when $* is set and
the filenames contain embedded newlines.
(textblock): Use a temporary variable for paragraph text, fix the
regex to concatenate multiple L<> section links and fix whitespace
handling for it around "and".
(sequence): Add a temporary variable workaround so that Z<> works
correctly with current Perl.
(cmd_for): Don't extract the line number when we don't use it.
1999-10-07 Russ Allbery <rra@stanford.edu>
* VERSION: podlators 0.08 released.
* lib/Pod/Text.pm: Export pod2text() for backwards compatibility.
* lib/Pod/Text.pm (interior_sequence): Add support for numeric E<>
escapes.
* lib/Pod/Man.pm (sequence): Likewise.
1999-09-27 Russ Allbery <rra@stanford.edu>
* lib/Pod/Man.pm (buildlink): Links to sections had doubled quote
marks.
* scripts/pod2roff.PL: Pod::Parser constructors take an expanded
hash, not a hash ref.
1999-09-25 Russ Allbery <rra@stanford.edu>
* VERSION: podlators 0.07 released.
* lib/Pod/Man.pm: Changed the parsing model so that rather than
deferring E<> escapes until just before output, *roff output is
generated by the interior sequence parsing and the result is
passed up the parse trees as Pod::Man::String objects instead of
scalars to mark the output as already processed. In the process,
cleaned up what *roff escaping and guesswork is applied where and
cleaned up the whole process of applying guesswork. Also improved
the small caps guesswork to allow for more cases, including
several adjacent all caps words, and fixed some bugs with the link
text generation for man page references. Improved the escaping of
dashes and hyphens to use a single pass, improved the index
generation slightly, and fixed a few places that were clobbering
the caller's $_.
1999-09-20 Russ Allbery <rra@stanford.edu>
* VERSION: podlators 0.06 released.
* scripts/pod2roff.PL: Expanded the man page documentation to take
into account suggestions from Larry Virden. Added examples for
ENVIRONMENT, more examples for OPTIONS, better examples for
subsections in DESCRIPTION, more details on ERRORS, a plea for a
method of fixing problems in DIAGNOSTICS as well as what the
message means, a plea for an explanation of examples in EXAMPLES,
a plea for documenting files that are modified in FILES, a mention
of a program web site in SEE ALSO, a mention of e-mail addresses
in AUTHORS, the AVAILABILITY section, and a note about markup
including L<> issues with e-mail addresses and URLs.
* lib/Pod/Man.pm: Added a BUGS entry for index entries for stuff
in NAME.
* lib/Pod/Text.pm: =begin text blocks are now output verbatim
rather than interpreted as POD. Documented the oddity with
Ctrl-As as a restriction.
* Makefile.PL: pod2txt renamed to pod2text.
* scripts/pod2roff.PL: Exit on Getopt::Long errors.
* scripts/pod2text.PL: Renamed to pod2text and updated for the
renaming of Pod::PlainText to Pod::Text. Added an explicit check
for Term::ANSIColor if -c was given. Added documentation of -h,
expanded the DIAGNOSTICS section to include directly generated
error messages and the most common Getopt::Long message.
* lib/Pod/Text/Termcap.pm: Updated for the renaming of
Pod::PlainText to Pod::Text.
* lib/Pod/Text/Color.pm: Updated for the renaming of
Pod::PlainText to Pod::Text, added BUGS note that the
implementation is rather incomplete and a note in DESCRIPTION that
it relies on Term::ANSIColor.
* lib/Pod/Text.pm: Renamed to Pod::Text, various comment cleanups,
always treat =for paragraphs as verbatim text, cleaned up the
documentation a little, and added two more diagnostics and a
cross-reference to pod2text(1). Bumped revision to 2.0 to be
larger than the old Pod::Text.
* lib/Pod/Man.pm: Renamed to Pod::Man from Pod::Roff, since there
is no standard Pod::Man module to worry about conflicting with.
* scripts/pod2roff.PL: Cut down on some information redundant with
Pod::Man's documentation, changed for the renaming of Pod::Roff to
Pod::Man, and added a BUGS section noting a few currently unfixed
problems.
* lib/Pod/Roff.pm: Inherit from Pod::Parser instead of
Pod::Select, get the date from our input file by default, be even
more conservative about small caps but put AT&T in small caps, and
added documentation.
* Makefile.PL: Add pod2roff to the scripts, improve handling of
scripts a little.
1999-09-19 Russ Allbery <rra@stanford.edu>

1999-08-30 Russ Allbery <rra@stanford.edu>

* Makefile.PL: Use File::Spec to build file paths for portability,
removed the dist setting since current Perls get this right, and
added the magic to cope with pod2txt as a .PL file.
* scripts/pod2txt.PL: Added the .PL magic to fix the shebang line
that will be necessary when this script is part of Perl core.
* VERSION: podlators 0.03 released.

everywhere.
lib/Pod/Text/Termcap.pm: Likewise.

* VERSION: podlators 0.02 released.
* lib/Pod/PlainText.pm: Added a pod2text() function for backwards
compatibility.

* lib/Pod/PlainText.pm: Fixed a spurious space with =for text
commands, check the content of sequences against '' specifically
rather than testing truth so that it does the right thing with 0,
process sequences for =head headings, and changed the name from
SimpleText to PlainText. Also speeded up some sequences slightly.
