DESCRIPTION¶

Pod::Simple::XMLOutStream is a subclass of Pod::Simple that parses Pod and turns it into XML.

Pod::Simple::XMLOutStream inherits methods from Pod::Simple.

SEE ALSO¶

Pod::Simple::DumpAsXML is rather like this class; see its documentation for a discussion of the differences.

Pod::Simple::Subclassing

The older (and possibly obsolete) libraries Pod::PXML, Pod::XML

ABOUT EXTENDING POD¶

TODO: An example or two of =extend, then point to Pod::Simple::Subclassing

ASK ME!¶

If you actually want to use Pod as a format that you want to render to XML (particularly if to an XML instance with more elements than normal Pod has), please email me ("sburke@cpan.org") and I'll probably have some recommendations.

For reasons of concision and energetic laziness, some methods and options in this module (and the dozen modules it depends on) are undocumented; but one of those undocumented bits might be just what you're looking for.

SEE ALSO¶

Pod::Simple, Pod::Simple::Text, Pod::Spell
