* lib/Pod/Text.pm: Likewise.
* lib/Pod/Text/Color.pm: Likewise.
* lib/Pod/Text/Overstrike.pm: Likewise.
* lib/Pod/Text/Termcap.pm: Likewise.
* lib/Pod/ParseLink.pm: Likewise, and reference Pod::Parser.
* scripts/pod2man.PL: Likewise, and remove a recommendation to
provide link text for L<>.
* scripts/pod2text.PL: Likewise, clean up some old-style L<> links
to work around bugs in Pod::Man and Pod::Text that have been
fixed, and reference Pod::Text::Overstrike.
2002-06-23 Russ Allbery <rra@stanford.edu>
* VERSION: podlators 1.22 released.
* lib/Pod/Man.pm (quote_literal): Tweak the regex for matching
numbers to not consider a single period to be a number.
* lib/Pod/Text.pm (seq_c): Likewise.
* t/man.t: Add a test for proper quoting of C<.>.
* t/text.t: New file. Likewise.
2002-02-16 Russ Allbery <rra@stanford.edu>
* VERSION: podlators 1.21 released.
* lib/Pod/Text/Overstrike.pm (wrap): Fix the regex for wrapping
lines to use a non-backtracking section for each character to
avoid exponential backtracking on lines with a lot of markup.
2002-01-27 Russ Allbery <rra@stanford.edu>
* VERSION: podlators 1.20 released.
* t/basic.t: EBCDIC compatibility when testing Pod::Text::Termcap.
Convert the escape characters so that the test will match. I'm
not entirely sure this doesn't paper over another problem, but
it's an improvement at least.
* lib/Pod/Text/Overstrike.pm (wrap): Use [\b] instead of \cH in
regexes to match backspaces, for platforms that use EBCDIC where
\b and \cH aren't the same character.
(strip_format): Likewise.
2002-01-02 Russ Allbery <rra@stanford.edu>
* VERSION: podlators 1.19 released.
* t/man.t: New file, testing special behavior of Pod::Man.
* lib/Pod/Man.pm (cmd_head1): Keep track of whether the current
section is the NAME section.
(collapse): Don't apply guesswork to the text inside the NAME
section since it may get pulled out by programs like catman.
(begin_pod): No longer output .UC after the .TH macro; catman
doesn't like anything between the NAME section and .TH and .UC
doesn't appear to actually do anything on any modern platform.
Also initialize IN_NAME here.
* t/basic.man: Adjust to reflect lack of guesswork in the NAME
section and removal of the .UC request.
2002-01-01 Russ Allbery <rra@stanford.edu>
* lib/Pod/Text/Termcap.pm (initialize): Terminal speed should be a
number, not a string. Also fall back on a hard-coded terminal
speed if getospeed doesn't work.
2001-12-31 Russ Allbery <rra@stanford.edu>
* t/basic.pod: Add a verbatim paragraph right before a heading,
which was previously mishandled by Pod::Man.
* t/basic.cap: Update.
* t/basic.clr: Update.
* t/basic.man: Update.
* t/basic.ovr: Update.
* t/basic.txt: Update.
* lib/Pod/Man.pm (verbatim): Remove the blank line from .Ve in the
preamble and set NEEDSPACE here instead, as this works better
before headings and in other, similar situations.
* t/text-errors.t: New file, testing errors issued by Pod::Text.
* lib/Pod/Text.pm (interior_sequence): Fix error reporting for
unknown sequences; the code was initializing $seq twice.
(command): Fix the unknown command warning to use a colon rather
than quotes like the other warnings and update the documentation
to match.
(interior_sequence): Fix the unknown formatting code warning to
match the documentation.
2001-11-30 Russ Allbery <rra@stanford.edu>
* VERSION: podlators 1.18 released.
* lib/Pod/ParseLink.pm: Escape L<> in the NAME section of the
documentation.
2001-11-27 Russ Allbery <rra@stanford.edu>
* lib/Pod/Text/Termcap.pm (initialize): Fall back on a hard-coded
terminal speed if POSIX::Termios doesn't work, such as on VMS.
* VERSION: podlators 1.17 released.
* lib/Pod/Text/Color.pm: Change all documentation references from
interior sequences to formatting codes to match the terminology of
perlpodspec.
* lib/Pod/Text/Overstrike.pm: Likewise.
* lib/Pod/Text.pm: Change all documentation references from
interior sequences to formatting codes to match the terminology of
perlpodspec.
(interior_sequence): Change the unknown sequence warning to
unknown formatting code.
* lib/Pod/Man.pm: Change all documentation references from
interior sequences to formatting codes to match the terminology of
perlpodspec. Move the extra *roff code to NOTES instead of
carrying it around inside the module.
(sequence): Return references to arrays rather than references to
scalars for already-formatted text because there are too many odd
bugs with scalar references in older versions of Perl. No longer
bless references since the current Pod::Parser doesn't require it.
Pass a third argument to collapse(). Change the unknown sequence
warning to unknown formatting code.
(collapse): Simplify and handle references to arrays rather than
references to scalars. Take a third argument that says whether to
do C<> cleanup operations rather than checking $literal > 1.
* Makefile.PL: Require version 1.13 of Pod::Parser so that
Pod::Man doesn't have to bless already-formatted strings.
* lib/Pod/Text/Termcap.pm: Fix a documentation typo. =head should
be =head1.
2001-11-26 Russ Allbery <rra@stanford.edu>
* VERSION: podlators 1.16 released.
* t/basic.t: Use an @INC path of ../lib for Perl core tests.
(source_path): New function to find the test source files, needed
when testing as Part of Perl core. Used for all source file
paths.
* VERSION: podlators 1.15 released.
* scripts/pod2man.PL: Delete the lax option before calling
Pod::Man and document that it's obsolete and that podchecker
should be used instead. Mark some man page references with an
explicit L<> and remove unnecessary anchor text on L<> references
to other POD modules. Add podchecker to the references section.
* lib/Pod/Man.pm: Documentation fixes. Remove the mention of lax
from BUGS since podchecker now handles that. Add mentions of
turning off guesswork and proper 8-bit character handling. Move
some notes about fragile heuristics to a CAVEATS section.
2001-11-25 Russ Allbery <rra@stanford.edu>
* t/basic.t: Set TERM and TERMCAP per the Term::Cap documentation
to obtain reproducible results for the Pod::Text::Termcap test.
* lib/Pod/Text/Termcap.pm (initialize): Wrap the call into
Term::Cap with eval because it throws exceptions if the terminal
can't be found. Fall back on the ANSI escape sequences rather
than dying if the termcap entry is incomplete. Note the fallback
in the documentation.
2001-11-23 Russ Allbery <rra@stanford.edu>
* VERSION: podlators 1.14 released.
* t/parselink.t: New file.
* t/basic.t: New file.

* t/basic.clr: New file.
* t/basic.ovr: New file.
* t/basic.man: New file.
* t/basic.pod: New file.

* lib/Pod/Text/Overstrike.pm (strip_format): New function.
(seq_b): Use it.
(seq_f): Likewise.
(seq_i): Likewise.
(heading): New override to prevent excessive interpolation, since
it's necessary to interpolate before formatting or the formatting
codes end up in the output.
(cmd_head1): Simplify, interpolate here, and use strip_format.
(cmd_head2): Likewise.
(cmd_head3): Likewise.
(cmd_head4): New function, doing the same as cmd_head3().
* lib/Pod/Man.pm (initialize): Move initialization of per-file
variables from here...
(begin_pod): ...to here. Remove WEIRDINDENT, add SHIFTS, and
rename NEWINDENT to SHIFTWAIT.
(textblock): Maintain a stack of shifts rather than using
WEIRDINDENT. Rename NEWINDENT to SHIFTWAIT.
(cmd_over): Likewise.
(cmd_back): Likewise.
(cmd_item): Likewise.
(cmd_head3): Use font escapes rather than .I to avoid strange
problems with quoting, at least for =head3. =head1 and =head2
likely still have troubles with repeated double-quotes.
(outindex): Accumulate output in an array to avoid some duplicate
code.
(switchquotes): Fix all fixed-width font changes for nroff, not
just the simple ones, and don't hard-code the value of any
fixed-width font.
2001-11-22 Russ Allbery <rra@stanford.edu>
* lib/Pod/ParseLink.pm (_parse_section): Fix a bug in the handling
of link text that's entirely in quotes.
* lib/Pod/Text.pm (heading): New function, for generic code for
all headings. loose now applies to all headers, not just =head1.

(cmd_head2): Likewise.
(cmd_head3): Likewise.
(cmd_head4): Likewise.
(cmd_over): Output any =item tags left open.
(cmd_back): Likewise.
(command): No longer handle open =item tags here since this is now
handled by individual commands. Fixes handling of =for or
=begin/=end in =item paragraphs.
(cmd_item): Default to a tag of "*" if none is given.
(item): Insert some whitespace for empty item paragraphs to keep
them from blending into subsequent text. Fix -w warnings.
* lib/Pod/ParseLink.pm: Documentation fixes. Double quotes are
only removed around sections, not names. Text entirely enclosed
in double quotes is interpreted as a link to a section. Expand
the explanation of formatting codes inside L<> codes.
(_parse_section): Avoid -w warnings on empty page or section
components.
(parselink): Avoid -w warnings on empty name components.
* lib/Pod/Man.pm (begin_pod): When intuiting the man page name for
a module, also strip $^O by itself as a directory component even
when not preceeded or followed by a dash and other text.
2001-11-15 Russ Allbery <rra@stanford.edu>
* VERSION: podlators 1.13 released.
* lib/Pod/Man.pm (guesswork): Minor tweak to make the hyphen
handling -w clean.
* VERSION: podlators 1.12 released.
2001-11-14 Russ Allbery <rra@stanford.edu>
* Makefile.PL: Require at least version 0.8 of File::Spec.
* lib/Pod/Man.pm: Use L<> for all man page references in the
documentation that should be highlighted. Switch the rest to bold
versions of the program name. Change func(n) to func(3) in the
example of things that are automatically formatted so that it will
be formatted. Remove from BUGS the note that some of the path
mangling assumes Unix directory separators. Don't give anchor
text for L<> links that no longer require it.
* lib/Pod/Text.pm: Update the documentation to use now-allowable
POD constructs like C<< >>. Don't escape angle brackets that
don't require escaping. Don't give anchor text for L<> links that
no longer require it.
* lib/Pod/Text/Color.pm: Likewise.
* lib/Pod/Text/Overstrike.pm: Likewise.
* lib/Pod/Text/Termcap.pm: Likewise.
* lib/Pod/Text.pm (interior_sequence): Inside S<>, convert all
whitespace to non-breaking spaces, not just spaces.
* lib/Pod/Man.pm (guesswork): Rewrite the handling of dashes and
hyphens. Be much more conservative about which hyphens are turned
into dashes, and make all hyphens non-breaking unless we can be
fairly sure that they're inside normal words.
* lib/Pod/Man.pm (textblock): Remove the special handling of
consecutive L</section> links.
(sequence): Defer expansion of formatting escapes inside L<> until
L<> is processed. Use Pod::ParseLink to parse the link text and
determine the text used. Expand formatting escapes in the link
text after the final text is determined. Surround URLs with angle
brackets in the output.
(buildlink): Deleted.
(collapse): Only escape backslashes for C<> codes.
* lib/Pod/Text.pm (textblock): Remove the special handling of
consecutive L</section> links.
(interior_sequence): Defer expansion of formatting escapes inside
L<> until L<> is processed. Pass the Pod::InteriorSequence object
to seq_l.
(seq_l): Use Pod::ParseLink to parse the link text and determine
the text used. Expand formatting escapes in the link text after
the final text is determined. Surround URLs with angle brackets
in the output.
* lib/Pod/ParseLink.pm: New file.
* lib/Pod/Man.pm (initialize): Initialize NEWINDENT.
(textblock): Handle indentation of =item-less =over/=back blocks
if NEWINDENT is set.
(cmd_over): Set NEWINDENT.
(cmd_back): Clear NEWINDENT.
(cmd_item): Likewise.
* lib/Pod/Man.pm (begin_pod): Include the version of Pod::Parser
in the header.
* lib/Pod/Man.pm: Support E<apos>, E<nbsp>, and E<shy>.
* lib/Pod/Text.pm: Support E<apos> and E<nbsp> and treat E<shy> as
an empty string.
2001-11-13 Russ Allbery <rra@stanford.edu>
* lib/Pod/Man.pm (begin_pod): Completely rewrite the name parsing
code for modules to use File::Spec. In the process, fix a bug in
dealing with the new three-component version number directories.
Swap the order of date and release in the .TH line to better
comply with the man macro documentation.
2001-11-04 Russ Allbery <rra@stanford.edu>
* scripts/pod2man.PL: Add the --name option and documentation.
* lib/Pod/Man.pm: Add documentation for the name option, which was
already implemented.
(begin_pod): Only try to determine a module name from the path for
the man page name if the man page we're generating is in section
3. No longer insert a timestamp into the generated man page; it
just causes unnecessary differences and merge conflicts.
2001-10-20 Russ Allbery <rra@stanford.edu>
* VERSION: podlators 1.11 released.
* scripts/pod2man.PL: Add --verbose to print out each output file
as it is generated. Silence -w warnings about the magic to exec

* lib/Pod/Man.pm (outindex): No output was being emitted for X<>
sequences due to a misplaced my.
(switchquotes): Must use .ie for if statements containing a .el
clause in *roff; .if won't work.
2001-07-19 Russ Allbery <rra@stanford.edu>
* lib/Pod/Man.pm (sequence): Turned carps for unknown escapes and
unknown sequences into warnings, suppressed the Perl file and line
number, and added the file and line number for the POD data.
(cmd_back): Likewise for unmatched =back errors.
* lib/Pod/Text.pm (interior_sequence): Likewise for unknown
escapes and unknown sequences.
(cmd_back): Likewise for unmatched =back errors.
2001-07-10 Russ Allbery <rra@stanford.edu>
* VERSION: podlators 1.10 released.
* scripts/pod2man.PL: Added a description of the COPYRIGHT AND
LICENSE section, add a mention of a mailing list in SEE ALSO, and

to quote the argument of C<>.
* lib/Pod/Man.pm (switchquotes): Remove font changes for nroff to
work around a bug in the Solaris 2.6 version of nroff's handling
of \fP in headings. No longer add an extra level of quoting for
=item; it isn't necessary.
* lib/Pod/Man.pm (sequence): Call quote_literal to handle C<>.
(quote_literal): New function, handling the decision of whether or
not to put quotes around the argument of C<>.
* lib/Pod/Man.pm: Added a LICENSE section to the documentation.
* lib/Pod/Text.pm: Likewise.
* lib/Pod/Man.pm (guesswork): Remove the logic turning PI into a
pretty pi character; it produces too many false positives.
* lib/Pod/Man.pm: Removed the definition .Ip from the preamble.
Removed .bd B 3 from the preamble; this isn't part of the accent
mark definitions but instead changes the way bolding is done,
confusing some other translators.
(cmd_item): Emit .IP instead of .Ip.
2001-04-09 Russ Allbery <rra@stanford.edu>
* VERSION: podlators 1.09 released.
* lib/Pod/Man.pm (guesswork): Fine-tune. Don't allow colons after
sequences to put in small caps since they're already handled by
being rolled into the sequence and were causing weird things to
happen in references to functions. Allow small caps before an
open paren. Teach the handling of functions and manual page
references about small caps escapes, and be pickier about what
constitutes a manual page reference.
* lib/Pod/Text.pm: Fix again the incorrect mappings for E<Iacute>
and E<iacute>, and this time for E<Igrave> and E<igrave> too.
Reported by Sean Burke.
2001-02-09 Russ Allbery <rra@stanford.edu>
* VERSION: podlators 1.08 released.

* VERSION: podlators 1.07 released.
* lib/Pod/Man.pm (begin_pod): Quote the file name if it contains
spaces.

* VERSION: podlators 1.06 released.
* scripts/pod2text.PL: Add -o or --overstrike to use
Pod::Text::Overstrike as the formatter.
* lib/Pod/Man.pm (switchquotes): =item text requires another level
of quoting of double quotes, which was already present but not
working for C<> text because it was in the wrong order. Fixed and
more comments added.

the CVS revision.
* lib/Pod/Text/Termcap.pm: Likewise.
* lib/Pod/Text/Overstrike.pm: New file. Contributed by Joe Smith

input and output files on the command line to decrease the time
that it takes to process all of Perl's documentation.

without the last change to work around a Solaris 2.6 nroff bug.
(textblock): Use textmapfonts instead of mapfonts.
(cmd_head4): Likewise.
(cmd_item): Likewise.
* lib/Pod/Man.pm (switchquotes): Turned into a method rather than
a static function. Switch \*C` and \*C' sequences from C<> as
well as literal double-quotes if the quote character contains
double quotes. Not doing this was causing weird output on some
systems in some circumstances.
(cmd_head1): Call of switchquotes changed.
(cmd_head2): Likewise.
(cmd_item): Likewise.
* lib/Pod/Man.pm (mapfonts): Use \fP to switch back to the default
font rather than changing back to \fR so that font changes work
correctly in headings using a different font. Sprinkle \fP
through all font changes so that the default font is always the
"previous" font so that the above works.
* lib/Pod/Man.pm (cmd_head3): New function.
(cmd_head4): New function.
* lib/Pod/Text.pm: (cmd_head3): New function.
(cmd_head4): New function.
* lib/Pod/Text.pm (initialize): Change the default quote character
for C<> to be double quotes rather than matched left/right single
quotes.
2000-10-09 Russ Allbery <rra@stanford.edu>
* VERSION: podlators 1.04 released.

(cmd_head1): Output .PD and reset ITEMS if ITEMS > 1.
(cmd_head2): Likewise.
(cmd_item): Count the number of consecutive =item commands and
output .PD 0 before the second.

to specify what quotes to use around C<> text.
(seq_c): Use the configurable quote characters.

* 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>
* VERSION: podlators 1.02 released.
* lib/Pod/Man.pm (sequence): Pass a special flag to collapse() for
C<> blocks rather than trying to fix up hyphens and underscores.
(collapse): Fix hyphens and underscores for literal C<> block
content.
2000-04-09 Russ Allbery <rra@stanford.edu>
* lib/Pod/Man.pm (sequence): Fix hyphens and underscores in only

* lib/Pod/Text.pm: Use a static version number, add the remaining
ISO 8859-1 HTML entities (from Tim Jenness).
* lib/Pod/Man.pm (protect): Be even more aggressive; protect any
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.

bundling_override so that options like -center work for backwards
compatibility.

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.
(protect): Allow for two-character fonts.
(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>
* lib/Pod/Man.pm (protect): Protect leading periods following font
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.

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 $_.

* 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.

1999-08-30 Russ Allbery <rra@stanford.edu>
* VERSION: podlators 0.04 released.
* 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.
* lib/Pod/Text/Color.pm: Pod::SimpleText changed to Pod::PlainText
everywhere.
lib/Pod/Text/Termcap.pm: Likewise.
* scripts/pod2txt: Pod::SimpleText changed to Pod::PlainText
everywhere, added documentation that Pod::Text::Termcap is used by
default if STDOUT is a tty, and clarified the documentation of
--loose.

* VERSION: podlators 0.02 released.
* lib/Pod/PlainText.pm: Added a pod2text() function for backwards
compatibility.
* lib/Pod/Text/Termcap.pm: Switch from using Pod::SimpleText to
using Pod::PlainText.
lib/Pod/Text/Color.pm: Likewise.
* lib/Pod/PlainText.pm: Properly wrap multi-line =item tags.
* Makefile.PL: Changed the name of the package to podlators.
* 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.
