NAME
       Pod::Text::Overstrike - Convert POD data to formatted overstrike text

SYNOPSIS
           use Pod::Text::Overstrike;
           my $parser = Pod::Text::Overstrike->new (sentence => 0, width => 78);

           # Read POD from STDIN and write to STDOUT.
           $parser->parse_from_filehandle;

           # Read POD from file.pod and write to file.txt.
           $parser->parse_from_file (’file.pod’, ’file.txt’);

DESCRIPTION
       Pod::Text::Overstrike is a simple subclass of Pod::Text that highlights output text
       using overstrike sequences, in a manner similar to nroff.  Characters in bold text
       are overstruck (character, backspace, character) and characters in underlined text
       are converted to overstruck underscores (underscore, backspace, character).  This
       format was originally designed for hardcopy terminals and/or lineprinters, yet is
       readable on softcopy (CRT) terminals.

       Overstruck text is best viewed by page-at-a-time programs that take advantage of
       the terminal’s stand-out and underline capabilities, such as the less program on
       Unix.

       Apart from the overstrike, it in all ways functions like Pod::Text.  See Pod::Text
       for details and available options.

BUGS
       Currently, the outermost formatting instruction wins, so for example underlined
       text inside a region of bold text is displayed as simply bold.  There may be some
       better approach possible.
