NAME
   Pod::POM::View::Restructured - View for Pod::POM that outputs
   reStructuredText

SYNOPSIS
    use Pod::POM::View::Restructured;

    my $view = Pod::POM::View::Restructured->new;
    my $parser = Pod::POM->new;
    my $pom = $parser->parse_file("$top_dir/lib/Pod/POM/View/Restructured.pm");
    my $out = $pom->present($view);

DESCRIPTION
   This module outputs reStructuredText that is expected to be used with
   Sphinx. Verbatim sections (indented paragraphs) in the POD will be
   output with syntax highlighting for Perl code by default. See "POD
   commands specifically for reStructuredText" for how to change this for a
   particular block.

   For a list of changes in recent versions, see the documentation for
   Pod::POM::View::Restructured::Changes.

   This module can be downloaded from
   <http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/D/DO/DOWENS/>.

METHODS
 "new(\%params)"
   Constructor. \%params is optional. If present, the following keys are
   valid:

   "callbacks"
       See documentation below for "convert_file()".

   "namespace"
       If a namespace is declared then links to that namespace are
       converted to cross references and an anchor is added for each head
       tag.

 "convert_file($source_file, $title, $dest_file, $callbacks)"
   Converts the POD in $source_file to reStructuredText. If $dest_file is
   defined, it writes the output there. If $title is defined, it is used
   for the title of the document. Otherwise, an attempt is made to infer
   the title from the NAME section (checks if the body looks like
   "/\A\s*(\w+(?:::\w+)+)\s+-\s+/s").

   Returns the output as a string.

   $source_file and $dest_file can be either file names or file handles.

 "convert_files($file_spec, $index_file, $index_title, $out_dir)"
   Converts the files given in $file_spec to reStructuredText. If
   $index_file is provided, it is the path to the index file to be created
   (with a table of contents pointing to all of the files created). If
   $index_title is provided, it is used as the section title for the index
   file. $out_dir is the directory the generated files will be written to.

   $file_spec is a reference to an array of hashes specifying attributes
   for each file to be converted. The valid keys are:

   "source_file"
       File to convert.

   "dest_file"
       File to output the reStructuredText. If not provided, a file name
       will be generated based on the title.

   "title"
       Section title for the generated reStructuredText. If not provided,
       an attempt will be made to infer the title from the NAME section in
       the POD, if it exists. As a last resort, a title will be generated
       that looks like "section_(\d+)".

   "callbacks"
       A reference to a hash containing names and the corresponding
       callbacks.

       Currently the only valid callback is "link". It is given the text
       inside a L<> section from the POD, and is expected to return a tuple
       "($url, $label)". If the value returned for $label is undefined, the
       value of $url is used as the label.

   "no_toc"
       Causes the item to not be printed to the index or return in the
       "toc" field.

   This method returns a hash ref with a table of contents (the "toc"
   field) suitable for a reStructuredText table of contents.

   E.g.,

    my $conv = Pod::POM::View::Restructured->new;

    my $files = [
                 { source_file => "$base_dir/Restructured.pm" },
                 { source_file => "$base_dir/DWIW.pm" },
                 { source_file => "$base_dir/Wrapper.pm" },
                ];

    my $rv = $conv->convert_files($files, "$dest_dir/index.rst", 'My Big Test', $dest_dir);

POD commands specifically for reStructuredText
   The following sequences can be used in POD to request actions
   specifically for this module.

 =for pod2rst next-code-block: *lang*
   This sets up the next verbatim section, i.e., the next indented
   paragraph to be highlighted according to the syntax of the
   programming/markup/config language *lang*. Verbatim sections are assumed
   to be Perl code by default. Sphinx uses Pygments to do syntax highlighting
   in these sections, so you can use any value for *lang* that Pygments
   supports, e.g., Python, C, C++, Javascript, SQL, etc.

EXAMPLES
   Converting a single file using "pod2rst"
        pod2rst --infile=Restructured.pm --outfile=restructured.rst

   Need to document:

   Document example of setting up sphinx build, generating rst from pod,
   and building

TODO
   code highlighting
       Currently, a verbatim block (indented paragraph) gets output as a
       Perl code block by default in reStructuredText. There should be an
       option (e.g., in the constructor) to change the language for
       highlighting purposes (for all verbatim blocks), or disable syntax
       highlighting and just make it a preformatted paragraph. There is a way
       to do this in POD (see "POD commands specifically for
       reStructuredText"), but there should also be an option in the
       constructor.

   improve escaping
       Text blocks are not escaped properly, so it is currently possible to
       invoke a command in reStructuredText by accident.

DEPENDENCIES
   Inherits from Pod::POM::View::Text that comes with the Pod::POM
   distribution.
