#NAME

Pod::Simple::PullParserTextToken -- text-tokens from Pod::Simple::PullParser

#SYNOPSIS

(SeePod::Simple::PullParser)

#DESCRIPTION

When you do $parser->get_token on aPod::Simple::PullParser, you might get an object of this class.

This is a subclass ofPod::Simple::PullParserToken and inherits all its methods, and adds these methods:

#$token->text

This returns the text that this token holds. For example, parsing C<foo> will return a C start-token, a text-token, and a C end-token. And if you want to get the "foo" out of the text-token, call$token->text

#$token->text(somestring)

This changes the string that this token holds. You probably won't need to do this.

#$token->text_r()

This returns a scalar reference to the string that this token holds. This can be useful if you don't want to memory-copy the potentially large text value (well, as large as a paragraph or a verbatim block) as calling $token->text would do.

Or, if you want to alter the value, you can even do things like this:

for ( ${  $token->text_r  } ) {  # Aliases it with $_ !!  s/ The / the /g; # just for example  if( 'A' eq chr(65) ) {  # (if in an ASCII world)    tr/\xA0/ /;    tr/\xAD//d;  }  ...or however you want to alter the value...  (Note that starting with Perl v5.8, you can use, e.g.,      my $nbsp = chr utf8::unicode_to_native(0xA0);      s/$nbsp/ /g;  to handle the above regardless if it's an ASCII world or not)}

You're unlikely to ever need to construct an object of this class for yourself, but if you want to, callPod::Simple::PullParserTextToken->new(text )
