It uses nospecial formatting controls or codes whatsoever, and its output is thereforesuitable for nearly any device.As a derived class from Pod::Parser, Pod::PlainText supports the same methods andinterfaces.  See L<Pod::Parser> for all the details; briefly, one creates anew parser with C<Pod::PlainText-E<gt>new()> and then calls eitherparse_from_filehandle() or parse_from_file().new() can take options, in the form of key/value pairs, that control thebehavior of the parser.  The currently recognized options are:=over 4=item altIf set to a true value, selects an alternate output format that, among otherthings, uses a different heading style and marks C<=item> entries with acolon in the left margin.  Defaults to false.=item indentThe number of spaces to indent regular text, and the default indentation forC<=over> blocks.  Defaults to 4.=item looseIf set to a true value, a blank line is printed after a C<=head1> heading.If set to false (the default), no blank line is printed after C<=head1>,although one is still printed after C<=head2>.  This is the default becauseit's the expected formatting for manual pages; if you're formattingarbitrary text documents, setting this to true may result in more pleasingoutput.=item sentenceIf set to a true value, Pod::PlainText will assume that each sentence ends in twospaces, and will try to preserve that spacing.  If set to false, allconsecutive whitespace in non-verbatim paragraphs is compressed into asingle space.  Defaults to true.=item widthThe column at which to wrap text on the right-hand side.  Defaults to 76.=backThe standard Pod::Parser method parse_from_filehandle() takes up to twoarguments, the first being the file handle to read POD from and the secondbeing the file handle to write the formatted output to.  The first defaultsto STDIN if not given, and the second defaults to STDOUT.  The methodparse_from_file() is almost identical, except that its two arguments are theinput and output disk files instead.

It has a revamped interface, since it now uses Pod::Parser,but an interface roughly compatible with the old Pod::Text::pod2text()function is still available.  Please change to the new calling convention,though.The original Pod::Text contained code to do formatting via termcapsequences, although it wasn't turned on by default and it was problematic toget it to work at all.  This rewrite doesn't even try to do that, but asubclass of it does.
