NAME

Pod::Simple::LinkSection -- represent "section" attributes of L codes

SYNOPSIS

# a long story

DESCRIPTION

This class is not of interest to general users.

Pod::Simple uses this class for representing the value of the "section" attribute of "L" start-element events. Most applications can just use the normal stringification of objects of this class; they stringify to just the text content of the section, such as "foo" for L<Stuff/foo>, and "bar" for L<Stuff/bI<ar>>.

However, anyone particularly interested in getting the full value of the treelet, can just traverse the content of the treeleet @$treelet_object. To wit:

% perl -MData::Dumper -e
  "use base qw(Pod::Simple::Methody);
   sub start_L { print Dumper($_[1]{'section'} ) }
   __PACKAGE__->new->parse_string_document('=head1 L<Foo/bI<ar>baz>>')
  "
Output:
$VAR1 = bless( [
                 '',
                 {},
                 'b',
                 bless( [
                          'I',
                          {},
                          'ar'
                        ], 'Pod::Simple::LinkSection' ),
                 'baz'
               ], 'Pod::Simple::LinkSection' );

But stringify it and you get just the text content:

% perl -MData::Dumper -e
  "use base qw(Pod::Simple::Methody);
   sub start_L { print Dumper( '' . $_[1]{'section'} ) }
   __PACKAGE__->new->parse_string_document('=head1 L<Foo/bI<ar>baz>>')
  "
Output:
$VAR1 = 'barbaz';
