NAME

Pod::Elemental::Transformer::Stenciller - Injects content from textfiles transformed with Stenciller

VERSION

Version 0.0301, released 2021-06-30.

SYNOPSIS

# in weaver.ini
[-Transformer / Stenciller]
transformer = Stenciller
directory = path/to/stencildir

DESCRIPTION

This transformer uses a special command in pod files to inject content from elsewhere via a Stenciller transformer plugin.

Example

1. Start with the weaver.ini from the "synopsis".

2. Add a textfile, in path/to/stencildir/file-with-stencils.stencil:

== stencil { to_pod => 1 } ==

Header text

--input--

    Input text

--end input--

Between text

--output--

    Output text

--end output--

Footer text

3. Add a Perl module:

package A::Test::Module;

1;

__END__

=pod

=head1 NAME

=head1 DESCRIPTION

:stenciller ToUnparsedText file-with-stencils.stencil

The last line in the Perl module will result in the following:

• The textfile is parsed with Stenciller

• The textfile is then transformed using the Stenciller::Plugin::ToUnparsedText plugin.

• The ':stenciller ...' line in the pod is replaced with the transformed content.

Pod hash

It is possible to filter stencils by index with an optional hash in the pod:

:stenciller ToUnparsedText 1-test.stencil { stencils => [0, 2..4] }

This will only include the stencils with index 0, 2, 3 and 4 from file-with-stencils.stencil.

Stencil hash

This module checks for the to_pod key in the stencil hash. If it has a true value (or doesn't exist) it is included in the transformation.

However, any stencil excluded by the "Pod hash" is already disregarded. It is probably least confusing to choose one of these places to do all filtering.

ATTRIBUTES
