; dist root, outside of build. Including this README in version
; control makes Github happy.

filename = README.pod
location = root
; Using plugin name autodetection: Produces README.html in root
[ ReadmeAnyFromPod / HtmlInRoot ]
DESCRIPTION
Generates a README for your Dist::Zilla powered dist from its
"main_module" in any of several formats. The generated README can be
included in the build or created in the root of your dist for e.g.
inclusion into version control.
PLUGIN NAME AUTODETECTION
If you give the plugin an appropriate name (a string after the slash) in
your dist.ini, it will can parse the "type" and "location" attributes
from it. The format is "Readme[TYPE]In[LOCATION]". The words "Readme"
and "In" are optional, and the whole name is case-insensitive. The
SYNOPSIS section above gives one example.
ATTRIBUTES
type
The file format for the readme. Supported types are "text", "markdown",
"pod", and "html".
filename
The file name of the README file to produce. The default depends on the
selected format.
source_filename
The file from which to extract POD for the content of the README. The
default is the file of the main module of the dist.
location
Where to put the generated README file. Choices are:
build
This puts the README in the directory where the dist is currently
being built, where it will be incorporated into the dist.
root
This puts the README in the root directory (the same directory that
contains dist.ini). The README will not be incorporated into the
built dist.
METHODS
prune_files
Files with "location = root" must also be pruned, so that they don't
sneak into the *next* build by virtue of already existing in the root
dir.
setup_installer
Adds the requested README file to the dist.
get_readme_content
Get the content of the README in the desired format.
