Pod::Simple::LinkSection(3perl) Perl Programmers Reference Guide Pod::Simple::LinkSection(3perl)
NAME
Pod::Simple::LinkSection -- represent "section" attributes of L codes
SYNOPSIS
# a long story
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';
