NAME

Pod::Simple::LinkSection – represent “section” attributes of L codes

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

This class is not of interest to general users.

Pod::Simple uses this class for representing the value of the section attribute of L start-element events. Most applications can just use the normal stringification of objects of this class; they stringify to just the text content of the section, such as foo for L<Stuff/foo>, and bar for L<Stuff/bI<ar>>.

However, anyone particularly interested in getting the full value of the treelet, can just traverse the content of the treeleet @$treelet_object. To wit:

% perl -MData::Dumper -e “use base qw(Pod::Simple::Methody); sub start_L { print Dumper($_[1]{section} ) } _ PACKAGE _->new->parse_string_document(=head1 L<Foo/bI<ar>baz>>) ” Output: $VAR1 = bless( [ , {}, b, bless( [ I, {}, ar ], Pod::Simple::LinkSection ), baz ], Pod::Simple::LinkSection );

But stringify it and you get just the text content:

% perl -MData::Dumper -e “use base qw(Pod::Simple::Methody); sub start_L { print Dumper( . $_[1]{section} ) } _ PACKAGE _->new->parse_string_document(=head1 L<Foo/bI<ar>baz>>) ” Output: $VAR1 = barbaz;
