Pod::Simple::LinkSection -- represent "section" attributes of L codes
- # a long story
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';
