NAME

Perl6::Pod::FormattingCode::N - inline note

SYNOPSIS

 =begin code :allow<B>
    Use a C<for> loop instead.B<N<The Perl 6 C<for> loop is far more
    powerful than its Perl 5 predecessor.>> Preferably with an explicit
    iterator variable.
 =end code

DESCRIPTION

Anything enclosed in an N<> code is an inline note. For example:

    Use a C<for> loop instead.B<N<The Perl 6 C<for> loop is far more
    powerful than its Perl 5 predecessor.>> Preferably with an explicit
    iterator variable.

Renderers may render such annotations in a variety of ways: as footnotes, as endnotes, as sidebars, as pop-ups, as tooltips, as expandable tags, etc. They are never, however, rendered as unmarked inline text. So the previous example might be rendered as:

  Use a for loop instead. [*] Preferably with an explicit iterator
 variable.

and later:

    Footnotes
    [*] The Perl 6 for loop is far more powerful than its Perl 5
predecessor.

to_xhtml

A footnote reference and footnote text are output to HTML as follows:

Footnote reference:

 <sup>[<a name="id394062" href="#ftn.id394062">1</a>]</sup>

Footnote:

 <div class="footnotes"><p>NOTES</p>
 <p><a name="ftn.id394062" href="#id394062"><sup>1</sup></a>
 Text of footnote ... </p>
 <div>

You can change the formatting of the footnote paragraph using CSS. Use the div.footnote CSS selector, and apply whatever styles you want with it, as shown in the following example.

 div.footnote {
    font-size: 8pt;
 }

to_docbook

This element is a wrapper around the contents of a footnote.

 <footnote><para> Some text </para></footnote>
