Generation of the man pages can ignore the tag like pod2text ignore B<>

I knew. But it only replaces standard pod formatting codes and replaces them 
with some ANSI escape. I'd like to see a formatting code that user can set.


=pod

some text some text some A<text|#RRGGBB> some text some text 
some text A<some text some | blue on_bright_yellow> text some text some text 

=cut

I was documenting http://search.cpan.org/~nkh/Data-HexDump-Range-0.06.24/ and 
it would have been handy to be able to show colors in the documentation 
without having to insert HTML.

I also think that any module handling colors would benefit. and their author 
won't have to go through hoops to display 3 letters in color.

I like pod's simplicity but not when it comes to color.

Cheers, Nadim.
