NAME
   Dist::Zilla::Plugin::ReadmeAnyFromPod - Automatically convert POD to a
   README in any format for Dist::Zilla

VERSION
   version 0.141120

SYNOPSIS
   In your dist.ini

       [ReadmeAnyFromPod]
       ; Default is plaintext README in build dir

       ; Using non-default options: POD format with custom filename in
       ; dist root, outside of build. Including this README in version
       ; control makes Github happy.
       [ReadmeAnyFromPod / ReadmePodInRoot]
       type = pod
       filename = README.pod
       location = root

       ; Using plugin name autodetection: Produces README.html in root
       [ ReadmeAnyFromPod / HtmlInRoot ]

DESCRIPTION
   Generates a README for your Dist::Zilla powered dist from its
   "main_module" in any of several formats. The generated README can be
   included in the build or created in the root of your dist for e.g.
   inclusion into version control.

 PLUGIN NAME AUTODETECTION
   If you give the plugin an appropriate name (a string after the slash) in
   your dist.ini, it will can parse the "type" and "location" attributes
   from it. The format is "Readme[TYPE]In[LOCATION]". The words "Readme"
   and "In" are optional, and the whole name is case-insensitive. The
   SYNOPSIS section above gives one example.

   When run with "location = dist", this plugin runs in the "FileMunger"
   phase to create the new file. If it runs before another "FileMunger"
   plugin does, that happens to modify the input pod (like, say,
   "[PodWeaver]"), the README file contents will be recalculated, along
   with a warning that you should modify your dist.ini by referencing
   "[ReadmeAnyFromPod]" lower down in the file (the build still works, but
   is less efficient).

ATTRIBUTES
 type
   The file format for the readme. Supported types are "text", "markdown",
   "pod", and "html".

 filename
   The file name of the README file to produce. The default depends on the
   selected format.

 source_filename
   The file from which to extract POD for the content of the README. The
   default is the file of the main module of the dist.

 location
   Where to put the generated README file. Choices are:

   build
       This puts the README in the directory where the dist is currently
       being built, where it will be incorporated into the dist.

   root
       This puts the README in the root directory (the same directory that
       contains dist.ini). The README will not be incorporated into the
       built dist.

METHODS
 gather_files
   We create the file early, so other plugins that need to have the full
   list of files are aware of what we will be generating.

 prune_files
   Files with "location = root" must also be pruned, so that they don't
   sneak into the *next* build by virtue of already existing in the root
   dir. (The alternative is that the user doesn't add them to the build in
   the first place, with an option to their "GatherDir" plugin.)

 munge_files
 munge_file
   Edits the content into the requested README file in the dist.

 after_build
   Create the requested README file in the root.

 get_readme_content
   Get the content of the README in the desired format.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
   Thanks to Karen Etheridge (ETHER) for helping me maintain this module
   and keep it working through breaking changes in its dependencies.
