NAME
Pod::Weaver::Section::GenerateSection - add pod section from an interpolated piece of text
VERSION
version 1.06
SYNOPSIS
In your weaver.ini
[GenerateSection]
title = HOMEPAGE
text = This is the POD for distribution {{$name}}. Check out what we have
text = been up to at {{$homepage}}
The title value can be omited if passed as the plugin name:
[GenerateSection / HOMEPAGE]
DESCRIPTION
This plugin attempts to be a cross between Pod::Weaver::Section::Template and Dist::Zilla::Plugin::GenerateFile without the generation of extra files.
The values of text are concatenated and variable names with matching values on the distribution are interpolated. Specifying the heading level allows one to write down a rather long section of POD text without need for extra files. For example:
[GenerateSection / FEEDBACK]
head = 1
[GenerateSection / Reporting bugs]
head = 2
text = Please report bugs when you find them. While we do have a mailing
text = list, please use the bug tracker at {{$bugtracker_web}}
text = to report bugs
[GenerateSection / Homegape]
head = 2
text = Also, come check out our other projects at
text = {{$homepage}}
ATTRIBUTES
