Pod-Simple 3.21

on Perl CPAN

NOTE: COMPATABILITY CHANGE: The 'codes_in_verbatim' option in
Pod::Simple::XHTML is no longer enabled by default. This brings it
agreement with the other formatting classes, and eliminates
unexpected behavior in XHTML-formatted Pod. Users who depended on
this functionality can still get it by enabling
'codes_in_verbatim' in their code.

Fixed some typos in the documentation. Thanks to Jonathan Yu via
the Debian packagers via Florian Ragwitz (RT #75532).

Now emit a warning the first time a non-ASCII byte is encountered
when no "=encoding" has been seen. Grant McLean.

When a non-ASCII byte is encounted before an "=encoding" line has
been seen, a heuristic (as described in perlpodspec) is applied to
select UTF-8 encoding if the non-ASCII bytes form a valid UTF-8
byte sequence, or Latin-1 otherwise. Grant McLean.

Added 'handle_code' method to Pod::Simple::XHTML. This allows
subclasses to override the handling of verbatim blocks, and makes
for a more cohesive interface, to boot. Gisle Aas.

Subsequent text segments are now joined together and passed as a
single unit to text handling code. This makes it easier for custom
handlers to process complete blocks of text in a single call to
'handle_text', rather than in dribs and drabs. Gisle Aas.

Replaced naive text wrapping code in Pod::Simple::DumpAsXML with
Text::Wrap, which was already used for similar purposes elsewhere
in Pod::Simple. Gisle Aas.
