NAME

Pod::Markdown::Github - Convert POD to Github's specific markdown

VERSION

Version 0.04

SYNOPSIS

    perl -MPod::Markdown::Github -e "Pod::Markdown::Github->filter('file.pod')"

DESCRIPTION

Github flavored markdown allows for syntax highlighting using three backticks.

This module inherits from Pod::Markdown and adds those backticks and an optional language identifier.

SUBCLASSING

This module performs a very simple linguistic check to identify if it's dealing with Perl code. To expand on this logic, or to add other languages one may subclass this module and overwrite the syntax method.

    package Pod::Markdown::Github::More;

    sub syntax {
        my ( $self, $paragraph ) = @_;

        # analyze $paragraph and return language identifier
        return 'c' if $paragraph =~ /\#include/;
    }

Github uses Liguist to perform language detection and syntax highlighting, so the above may not be needed after all.
