NAME

Pod::InDesign::TaggedText - Turn Pod into Tagged Text

SYNOPSIS

        use Pod::InDesign::TaggedText;

DESCRIPTION

***THIS IS ALPHA SOFTWARE. MAJOR PARTS WILL CHANGE***

The style information

This module takes care of most of the tagged text stuff for you, but you'll want to insert your own style names. The module gets these by calling methods to get the style names. You probably want to create an InDesign document and export it to tagged text to see what you need.

Override these in a subclass.

document_header

This is the start of the document that defines all of the styles. You'll need to override this. You can take this directly from

head1_style, head2_style, head3_style, head4_style

The paragraph styles to use with each heading level. By default these are Head1Style, and so on.

normal_paragraph_style

The paragraph style for normal Pod paragraphs. You don't have to use this for all normal paragraphs, but you'll have to override and extend more things to get everything just how you like. You'll need to override start_Para to get more variety.

normal_paragraph_style

Like normal_paragraph_style, but for verbatim sections. To get more fancy handling, you'll need to override start_Verbatim and end_Verbatim.

inline_code_style

The character style that goes with C<>.

inline_url_style

The character style that goes with U<>.

inline_italic_style

The character style that goes with I<>.

inline_bold_style

The character style that goes with B<>.

The Pod::Simple mechanics

Everything else is the same stuff from Pod::Simple.

TO DO

  • beef up entity handling in E<>. I had to override some stuff from Pod::Escapes

SEE ALSO

Pod::PseudoPod, Pod::Simple

If, for some reason, I disappear from the world, one of the other members of the project can shepherd this module appropriately.
