NAME

Pod::TreeWalker - Walk a Pod tree and generate an event for each node

SYNOPSIS

use Pod::TreeWalker;

my $to-html = Pod::To::HTML.new(...);
Pod::TreeWalker.new( :listener($to-html) ).walk-pod($=pod);

DESCRIPTION

This class provides an API for walking a pod tree (as provided by $=pod). Each node in the tree will trigger one or more events. These events cause methods to be called on a listener object that you provide. This lets you do something with a Pod document without having to know much about the underlying tree structure of Pod.

METHODS

new

my $walker = Pod::TreeWalker.new( :listener($object) )

The constructor expects a single named argument :listener. This object must implement the Pod::TreeWalker::Listener API.

walk-pod

$walker.walk-pod($pod);

This method walks through a pod tree starting with the top node in $pod. You can provide either an array of pod nodes (as stored in $=pod) or a single top-level node (such as $=pod[0]).

text-content-of

say $walker.text-contents-of($pod)

Given a Pod::Block of any sort, this method recursively descends the blocks contents and returns the concatenation of all the plain text that it finds.
