=head1 NAME

Bio::Phylo::Parsers::Taxlist - Parser used by Bio::Phylo::IO, no serviceable parts inside

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module is used for importing sets of taxa from plain text files, one taxon
on each line. It is called by the L<Bio::Phylo::IO|Bio::Phylo::IO> object, so
look there for usage examples. If you want to parse from a string, you
may need to indicate the field separator (default is '\n') to the
Bio::Phylo::IO->parse call:

 -fieldsep => '\n',
