- #
- # is not as rich as the output from
- #
- # pod2man Text.pm | nroff -man > fancy.txt; less fancy.txt
- #
- # and because both Pod::Text::Color and Pod::Text::Termcap are not device
- # independent.

- =head1 NAME
-
- Pod::Text::Overstrike - Convert POD data to formatted overstrike text
-
- =head1 SYNOPSIS
-
- use Pod::Text::Overstrike;
- my $parser = Pod::Text::Overstrike->new (sentence => 0, width => 78);
-
- # Read POD from STDIN and write to STDOUT.
- $parser->parse_from_filehandle;
-
- # Read POD from file.pod and write to file.txt.
- $parser->parse_from_file ('file.pod', 'file.txt');
-
- =head1 DESCRIPTION
-
- Pod::Text::Overstrike is a simple subclass of Pod::Text that highlights
- output text using overstrike sequences, in a manner similar to nroff.
- Characters in bold text are overstruck (character, backspace, character) and
- characters in underlined text are converted to overstruck underscores
- (underscore, backspace, character). This format was originally designed for
- hardcopy terminals and/or lineprinters, yet is readable on softcopy (CRT)
- terminals.
-
- Overstruck text is best viewed by page-at-a-time programs that take
- advantage of the terminal's B<stand-out> and I<underline> capabilities, such
- as the less program on Unix.
-
- Apart from the overstrike, it in all ways functions like Pod::Text. See
- L<Pod::Text> for details and available options.
-
- =head1 BUGS
-
- Currently, the outermost formatting instruction wins, so for example
- underlined text inside a region of bold text is displayed as simply bold.
- There may be some better approach possible.
-
- =head1 SEE ALSO

- L<Pod::Text>, L<Pod::Parser>
-
- The current version of this module is always available from its web site at
- L<http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/software/podlators/>. It is also part of the
- Perl core distribution as of 5.6.0.
