NAME

Pod::Elemental::Paragraph - a paragraph in a Pod document

VERSION

version 0.102362

OVERVIEW

This is probably the most important role in the Pod-Elemental distribution. Classes including this role represent paragraphs in a Pod document. The paragraph is the fundamental unit of dividing up Pod documents, so this is a often-included role.

ATTRIBUTES

content

This is the textual content of the element, as in a Pod::Eventual event. In other words, this Pod:

=head2 content

has a content of "content\n"

start_line

This attribute, which may or may not be set, indicates the line in the source document where the element began.

METHODS

as_pod_string

This returns the element as a string, suitable for turning elements back into a document. Some elements, like a =over command, will stringify to include extra content like a =back command. In the case of elements with children, this method will include the stringified children as well.

as_debug_string

This method returns a string, like as_string, but is meant for getting an overview of the document structure, and is not suitable for reproducing a document. Its exact output is likely to change over time.
