NAME

Pod::Loom::Role::Extender - Role to simplify extending a template

VERSION

This document describes version 0.03 of Pod::Loom::Role::Extender, released October 15, 2011 as part of Pod-Loom version 0.05.

SYNOPSIS

  use Moose;
  extends 'Pod::Loom::Template::Default';
  with 'Pod::Loom::Role::Extender';

  sub remap_sections { {
    AUTHOR => [qw[ AUTHOR ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ]],
  } }

  sub section_ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ...

DESCRIPTION

The Extender role simplifies creating a custom Pod::Loom template. You should not use this for templates uploaded to CPAN, because you can only use it once per template. It's intended for creating a custom template for a distribution.

METHODS

Your template class may provide any or all of the following methods. (If you don't provide any of these methods, then there's no point in using Extender.)

additional_commands

If your class provides additional_commands, it should return an arrayref just like collect_commands. This list will be merged with the list of collect_commands from the template being extended.

remap_sections

If your class provides remap_sections, it should return a hashref keyed by section title. The values should be arrayrefs of section titles. Each section in the hash will be replaced by the listed sections. You can use this to insert or remove sections from the template you're extending.

CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT

Pod::Loom::Role::Extender requires no configuration files or environment variables.

INCOMPATIBILITIES

None reported.

BUGS AND LIMITATIONS

No bugs have been reported.
