Perhaps not yet, but continued progress with XML/XSL aware editors might raise the question at some point. As a near example, writing out anchors in html is something I've always considered a pain, but it is a highlight and a button click in EditPlus. Can't be a lot longer before that functionality is around for pod (more to the point, given an XSL, for any similar language.)

This may sound a bit strange from the person who wrote pod2pxml as well as pxml2pod, but: Does anyone out there (on pod-people or elsewhere) really want to write podly documentation in XML syntax? I.e., not someone who wants Pod syntax to be /replaced/ with XML, but someone who wants to write "<c>foo()</c>" instead of "C<foo()>". I was pondering making my grand pod2sax/pod2xml parser accept either traditional pod syntax or an XML notational variant of it -- but the latter could clearly /require/ a real XML parser module installed; and that idea causes some angst, anxiety, and anguish among pod-people, including me. So I'm strongly leaning toward thinking that that idea really is really worth the bother. -- Sean M. Burke [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.spinn.net/~sburke/
