NAME
    Dist::Zilla::Plugin::ReadmeAnyFromPod - Automatically convert POD to a
    README in any format for Dist::Zilla

VERSION
    version 0.141120

SYNOPSIS
    In your dist.ini

        [ReadmeAnyFromPod]
        ; Default is plaintext README in build dir

        ; Using non-default options: POD format with custom filename in
        ; dist root, outside of build. Including this README in version
        ; control makes Github happy.
        [ReadmeAnyFromPod / ReadmePodInRoot]
        type = pod
        filename = README.pod
        location = root

        ; Using plugin name autodetection: Produces README.html in root
        [ ReadmeAnyFromPod / HtmlInRoot ]

DESCRIPTION
    Generates a README for your Dist::Zilla powered dist from its
    "main_module" in any of several formats. The generated README can be
    included in the build or created in the root of your dist for e.g.
    inclusion into version control.

  PLUGIN NAME AUTODETECTION
    If you give the plugin an appropriate name (a string after the slash) in
    your dist.ini, it will can parse the "type" and "location" attributes
    from it. The format is "Readme[TYPE]In[LOCATION]". The words "Readme"
    and "In" are optional, and the whole name is case-insensitive. The
    SYNOPSIS section above gives one example.

    When run with "location = dist", this plugin runs in the "FileMunger"
    phase to create the new file. If it runs before another "FileMunger"
    plugin does, that happens to modify the input pod (like, say,
    "[PodWeaver]"), the README file contents will be recalculated, along
    with a warning that you should modify your dist.ini by referencing
    "[ReadmeAnyFromPod]" lower down in the file (the build still works, but
    is less efficient).

ATTRIBUTES
  type
    The file format for the readme. Supported types are "text", "markdown",
    "pod", and "html".

  filename
    The file name of the README file to produce. The default depends on the
    selected format.

  source_filename
    The file from which to extract POD for the content of the README. The
    default is the file of the main module of the dist.

  location
    Where to put the generated README file. Choices are:

    build
        This puts the README in the directory where the dist is currently
        being built, where it will be incorporated into the dist.

    root
        This puts the README in the root directory (the same directory that
        contains dist.ini). The README will not be incorporated into the
        built dist.

METHODS
  gather_files
    We create the file early, so other plugins that need to have the full
    list of files are aware of what we will be generating.

  prune_files
    Files with "location = root" must also be pruned, so that they don't
    sneak into the *next* build by virtue of already existing in the root
    dir. (The alternative is that the user doesn't add them to the build in
    the first place, with an option to their "GatherDir" plugin.)

  munge_files
  munge_file
    Edits the content into the requested README file in the dist.

  after_build
    Create the requested README file in the root.

  get_readme_content
    Get the content of the README in the desired format.
