NAME

Pod::Weaver::Plugin::SingleEncoding - ensure that there is exactly one =encoding of known value

VERSION

version 4.020

OVERVIEW

The SingleEncoding plugin is a Dialect and a Finalizer.

During dialect translation, it will look for =encoding directives. If it finds them, it will ensure that they all agree on one encoding and remove them.

During document finalization, it will insert an =encoding directive at the top of the output, using the encoding previously detected. If no encoding was detected, the plugin's encoding attribute will be used instead. That defaults to UTF-8.

If you want to reject any =encoding directive that doesn't match your expectations, set the encoding attribute by hand.

No actual validation of the encoding is done. Pod::Weaver, after all, deals in text rather than bytes.

PERL VERSION

This module should work on any version of perl still receiving updates from the Perl 5 Porters. This means it should work on any version of perl released in the last two to three years. (That is, if the most recently released version is v5.40, then this module should work on both v5.40 and v5.38.)

Although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made that the minimum required version will not be increased. The version may be increased for any reason, and there is no promise that patches will be accepted to lower the minimum required perl.
