I think you're mistaking what AxKit is capable of :-) - conversion to HTML
is a given. Conversion to plain text is a little harder, but doable, but
the point is it should all be automated, just as posting news to the site
is right now (you don't get to see that part because its secure for the
editors only).
I now have a stylesheet that will generate "good enough" POD that
Pod::Text generates reasonable output. Sadly Pod::Text needs a filename or
STDIN (we may be able to fudge it to work on a temp filehandle), which
makes the coding a little more complex, but still doable. Its just a
matter of time and effort.
