Very funny. As it happens I do have a Pod::HTML module that is essentially my Pod::LaTeX with the tags changed to HTML. Works fine for me. The reason I never released it was: - There were people in the queue already that were working on Pod::HTML replacements (Marek was the main example) and it was pointless me putting in the extra effort to try to do the same thing. The fact that the clamour to replace Pod::HTML in the core has died out over the past year has been unexpected. - There are so many extra features in pod2html that would have to be added before release that the whole task of providing backwards compatibility was extremely daunting. - I was forced kicking and screaming into "management" (there goes my coding time) and it's hard enough supporting the modules I have on CPAN as it is without adding more. Anyway, excellent attempt to make me feel guilty but you still haven't answered my question and I stand by my statement that updating Pod::HTML is higher up in the priorities list than writing a new Pod::Parser. :-) -- Tim Jenness JAC software http://www.jach.hawaii.edu/~timj
