These are just \ideas. Possibly not everything in this list will be implemented, and probably these notes do not describe all features which might be on the way ;-). Further ideas are welcome.

If you you like an idea especially, please let us now to accelerate implementation if possible. If you like it so much that you want to implement it yourself, this might be possible - please contact us.

* add a tutorial to PerlPoint

* Bodyless macro call before a new chapter inserts an additional headline (delayed "=") when the macro opens an included file and produces additional paragraphs.

* add tests for the \_cnd_ option (both for generic tags declared by modules and the builtin ones like \\\INCLUDE, \\\EMBED and \\\TABLE)

* Add a pod2pp. It seems that a good way to do so is to copy the way \Pod::Text works to write a \Pod::PerlPoint, which could provide a \pod2perlpoint() function. After doing so we'll be able to use that function both for a standalone translator (that just makes use of the function) and filters that could translate POD snippets right into PerlPoint (see the "Include file filters" section below).

* publish a collection of example macros

* publish a collection of example filters

* publish a collection of example code

* improve the SourceForge project homepage, include areas for user provides macros, filters, code, examples etc.

* add a "filtered" type to \\\INCLUDE, to transform other formats on the fly - for example, there could be a filter making POD files available directly

\\INCLUDE{type="filtered:pod2pp" ...}

* the specified filter name would be the name of a function declared in an \\\EMBED section

* the result is treated as PerlPoint

* if active contents is disabled, such paragraphs would be skipped

* like any other types of included files, filtered files need to be enabled by the -filter option

pp2... -filter 'filtered:pod2pp'

* this would be a flexible, cool and transparent way to embed existing files in other formats

* it is already possible today by writing a macro that invokes Perl code to load and transform a file, but providing it as a feature of \\\INCLUDE makes usage more transparent and would allow to combine it with other features of include like \headlinebase

* current stream representation might not be optimal (because it closes the first list, shifts and opens a new one instead of holding the first list open and opening a subordered list);

* but list directives now contain hints about preceding and following level shifts, may be this is sufficient;

* complete? (may be sufficient enough as a demonstration ...)

* apply interface to pp2sdf;

* find out why a first transformation of this TODO file differs from subsequent ones by a trailing whitespace;

* complete target mode 3;

* implement target modes 2 and 1;

* apply interface to pp2sdf;

* add index (supporting pp2html index tags as possible);

* add documentation in PerlPoint format;
