NAME

Pod::Markdown::Passthrough - A passthrough mode for Pod::Markdown.

SYNOPSIS

use Pod::Markdown::Passthrough;

my $parser = Pod::Markdown::Passthrough->new();
$parser->parse_from_file($file_containing_markdown);
# Outputs the raw contents of $file_containing_markdown.
print $parser->as_markdown;

DESCRIPTION

Pod::Markdown::Passthrough is a child class of Pod::Markdown which makes the assumption that the source file is already markdown, and performs no processing of it at all.

github-aware CPAN module authoring tools such as Minilla build README.md from the module POD, but sometimes you want the README.md to be something specific, and independent of the module POD.

For example, using Minilla, add the following two lines to minil.toml to have the build process leave README.md untouched.

readme_from="README.md"
markdown_maker="Pod::Markdown::Passthrough"

CAVEATS

• Only the parse_from_file() and as_markdown() methods of Pod::Markdown are replaced, so calling any other methods on the object is very unlikely to do what you'd expect.
