## NAME
    [Pod::Simple::PullParserTextToken](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Pod%3A%3ASimple%3A%3APullParserTextToken/markdown) -- text-tokens from [Pod::Simple::PullParser](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Pod%3A%3ASimple%3A%3APullParser/markdown)

## SYNOPSIS
    (See [Pod::Simple::PullParser](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Pod%3A%3ASimple%3A%3APullParser/markdown))

## DESCRIPTION
    When you do $parser->get_token on a [Pod::Simple::PullParser](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Pod%3A%3ASimple%3A%3APullParser/markdown), you might get an object of this
    class.

    This is a subclass of [Pod::Simple::PullParserToken](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Pod%3A%3ASimple%3A%3APullParserToken/markdown) and inherits all its methods, and adds these
    methods:

    $token->text
        This returns the text that this token holds. For example, parsing C<foo> will return a C
        start-token, a text-token, and a C end-token. And if you want to get the "foo" out of the
        text-token, call "$token->text"

    $token->text(*somestring*)
        This changes the string that this token holds. You probably won't need to do this.

    $token->text_r()
        This returns a scalar reference to the string that this token holds. This can be useful if
        you don't want to memory-copy the potentially large text value (well, as large as a
        paragraph or a verbatim block) as calling $token->text would do.

        Or, if you want to alter the value, you can even do things like this:

          for ( ${  $token->text_r  } ) {  # Aliases it with $_ !!

            s/ The / the /g; # just for example

            if( 'A' eq [chr(65)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/chr/65/markdown) ) {  # (if in an ASCII world)
              tr/\xA0/ /;
              tr/\xAD//d;
            }

            ...or however you want to alter the value...
            (Note that starting with Perl v5.8, you can use, e.g.,

                my $nbsp = chr utf8::[unicode_to_native(0xA0)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/unicodetonative/0xA0/markdown);
                s/$nbsp/ /g;

            to handle the above regardless if it's an ASCII world or not)
          }

    You're unlikely to ever need to construct an object of this class for yourself, but if you want
    to, call "[Pod::Simple::PullParserTextToken](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Pod%3A%3ASimple%3A%3APullParserTextToken/markdown)->new( *text* )"
