BLURB

  Pod::Thread translates POD source into thread, a macro language
  processed by spin.  It supports optionally adding a table of contents
  and a navigation bar to the genenerated file.  This package also
  includes the pod2thread driver script, invoked automatically by spin for
  POD files and pointers to POD files.

DESCRIPTION

  This package contains a module to translate POD into thread, an HTML
  macro language.  As such, it's not very useful without spin [1], a
  separate program to convert thread into HTML.  I wrote this module for
  my personal needs and it may not be (and in fact probably isn't)
  suitable for more general use as yet.

  The eventual intention is to incorporate spin into DocKnot [2], at which
  point this module will provide the POD support for DocKnot as a static
  site generator.  I have no estimate for when that work will be done.

  The conversion done by this module is mostly straightforward.  The only
  notable parts are the optional generation of a table of contents or a
  navigation bar at the top of the generated file.

REQUIREMENTS

  Perl 5.24 or later and Pod::Parser 3.06 or later.  As mentioned above,
  it's also not particularly useful without spin.

BUILDING AND INSTALLATION

  Pod::Thread uses Module::Build and can be installed using the same
  process as any other Module::Build module:

      perl Build.PL
      ./Build
      ./Build install

  You will have to run the last command as root unless you're installing
  into a local Perl module tree in your home directory.

TESTING

  Pod::Thread comes with a test suite, which you can run after building
  with:

      ./Build test

  If a test fails, you can run a single test with verbose output via:

      ./Build test --test_files <path-to-test>

  Perl6::Slurp is required by the test suite.  The following additional
  Perl modules will be used by the test suite if present:

  * Devel::Cover
  * Perl::Critic::Freenode
  * Test::MinimumVersion
  * Test::Perl::Critic
  * Test::Pod
  * Test::Spelling
  * Test::Strict
  * Test::Synopsis

  All are available on CPAN.  Those tests will be skipped if the modules
  are not available.

  To enable tests that don't detect functionality problems but are used to
  sanity-check the release, set the environment variable RELEASE_TESTING
  to a true value.  To enable tests that may be sensitive to the local
  environment or that produce a lot of false positives without uncovering
  many problems, set the environment variable AUTHOR_TESTING to a true
  value.

SUPPORT

  The Pod::Thread web page at:

  will always have the current version of this package, the current
  documentation, and pointers to any additional resources.

  For bug tracking, use the issue tracker on GitHub:

  However, please be aware that I tend to be extremely busy and work
  projects often take priority.  I'll save your report and get to it as
  soon as I can, but it may take me a couple of months.
