Pod::Simple::LinkSection (3pm)

 # a long story

This class is not of interest to general users.

Pod::Simple uses this class for representing the value of the \*(L"section\*(R" attribute of \*(L"L\*(R" 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 \*(L"foo\*(R" for \*(C`L<Stuff/foo>\*(C', and \*(L"bar\*(R" for \*(C`L<Stuff/bI<ar>>\*(C'.

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';
