=head1 NAME
Pod::Simple::LinkSection -- represent "section" attributes of L codes
=head1 SYNOPSIS
# a long story
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This class is not of interest to general users.
Pod::Simple uses this class for representing the value of the
"section" attribute of "L" 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 "foo" for
C<< LZ<>
>>, and "bar" for
C<< LZ<>> >>.
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 Lbaz>>')
"
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 Lbaz>>')
"
Output:
$VAR1 = 'barbaz';
