NAME

       Locale::Po4a::RubyDoc -- Convert Ruby Document data from/to PO files

DESCRIPTION

       The po4a (PO for anything) project goal is to ease translations (and more interestingly,
       the maintenance of translations) using gettext tools on areas where they were not expected
       like documentation.

       Locale::Po4a::RubyDoc is a module to help the translation of documentation in the Ruby
       Document (RD) format (a language used to document Ruby) into other [human] languages.

STATUS OF THIS MODULE

       This module has been successfully tested on simple Ruby Document files covering a good
       part of the format syntax.

       A known limitation is that it fails to properly recognize the stacked structure of input
       Ruby Document: this implies that when, for instance, an EnumListItem consists of more than
       one Block, only the first Block is actually recognized as EnumListItem, while the
       subsequent ones are considered just as TextBlocks...

OPTIONS ACCEPTED BY THIS MODULE

       This module supports the following option:

       puredoc
           Handle files entirely made of Ruby Document formatted text (without any "=begin"
           line).

           By default, this module only handles Ruby Document formatted text between "=begin" and
           "=end" lines (hence ignoring, among other things, everything that precedes the first
           "=begin" line).
