如何在Perl POD中记录参数

问题描述

我有这个POD：

=head1 My code

=head2 check

Checks something. 

Parameters:

=over 8

=item what to check.

=back

=cut

podchecker没有抱怨。 perldoc显示如下：

My code
  check
    Checks something.

    Parameters:

    what to check.

我希望“要检查的内容”行进一步缩进。

如何更改POD以显示缩进的参数？ 有没有比=item更好的方法了？

解决方法

perldoc和pod2html都忽略 indentlevel 。使用项目符号作为解决方法。请参见下面的示例。

=head1 My code

=head2 check with no bullets or numbers

Checks something. 

Parameters:

=over

=item what to check A

=item what to check B

=back

=head2 check with bullets

Checks something. 

=over

=item * what to check A

=item * what to check B

=back

=head2 check with numbers

Checks something. 

=over

=item 1. what to check A

=item 2. what to check B

=back

=cut

运行perldoc /path/to/script.pl会导致以下结果：

My code
   check with no bullets or numbers
       Checks something.

       Parameters:

       what to check A
       what to check B

   check with bullets
       Checks something.

       o   what to check A

       o   what to check B

   check with numbers
       Checks something.

       1. what to check A
       2. what to check B

参考：

“ = over”的 indentlevel 选项指示缩进的距离， 通常以ems为单位（其中em是“ M”的宽度 文档的基本字体）或大致可比的单位；如果没有 indentlevel 选项，默认为四个。 （有些格式化程序可能只是 忽略您提供的 indentlevel 。）

请研究我的模板代码，您将需要安装Getopt::Long和Pod::Usage。

您将能够使用选项--man和--help运行此脚本，以生成简短而完整的文档。
