NAME

Padre::DocBrowser

DESCRIPTION

Provide an interface for retrieving / generating documentation, resolving terms to documentation (search?) and formatting documentation.

Allow new packages to be loaded and interrogated for the mimetypes they can generate documentation for. Provide similar mechanism for registering new documentation viewers and uri schemes accepted for resolving.

NOTE i think all the method names are wrong. blast it.

SYNOPSIS

# Does perlish things by default via 'Padre::DocBrowser::POD'
my $browser = Padre::DocBrowser->new();
my $source = Padre::Document->new( filename=>'source/Package.pm' );

my $docs = $browser->docs( $source );
# $docs provided by DocBrowser::POD->generate
#  should be Padre::Document , application/x-pod

my $output = $browser->browse( $docs );
# $output provided by DocBrowser::POD->render
#  should be Padre::Document , text/x-html

$browser->load_viewer( 'Padre::DocBrowser::PodAdvanced' );
# PodAdvanced->render might add an html TOC in addition to
#  just pod2html

my $new_output = $browser->browse( $docs );
# $new_output now with a table of contents
