NAME

       Pod::Elemental::Transformer::Pod5 - the default, minimal semantics of Perl5's pod element
       hierarchy

VERSION

       version 0.103006

SYNOPSIS

         Pod::Elemental::Transformer::Pod5->new->transform_node($pod_elem_document);

       ...and that's it.

OVERVIEW

       The Pod5 transformer is meant to be used to convert the result of a "stock"
       Pod::Elemental::Document into something simpler to work with.  It assumes that the
       document conforms more or less to the convetions laid out in perlpod and perlpodspec.  It
       is not very strict, and makes very few assumptions, described here:

       •   =begin/=end and =for enclose or produce regions within the document

       •   regions are associated with format names; format names that begin with a colon enclose
           more pod-like content

       •   regions nest strictly; all inner regions must end before outer regions

       •   paragraphs in non-pod regions are "data" paragraphs

       •   non-data paragraphs that start with spaces are "verbatim" paragraphs

       •   groups of data or verbatim paragraphs can be consolidated

       Further, all elements are replaced with equivalent elements that perform the
       Pod::Elemental::Autoblank role, so all "blank" events can be removed form the tree and
       ignored.

PERL VERSION

       This library should run on perls released even a long time ago.  It should work on any
       version of perl released in the last five years.

       Although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made that the minimum
       required version will not be increased.  The version may be increased for any reason, and
       there is no promise that patches will be accepted to lower the minimum required perl.

CONFIGURATION

       None.  For now, it just does the same thing every time with no configuration or options.
