# NAME

Pod::Simple::LinkSection -- represent "section" attributes of L codes

# SYNOPSIS

     # a long story

# DESCRIPTION

This class is not of interest to general users.

Pod::Simple uses this class for representing the value of the "section" attribute of "L" start-element events. Most applications can just use the normal stringification of objects of this class; they stringify to just the text content of the section, such as "foo" for `L<Stuff/foo>` , and "bar" for `L<Stuff/bI<ar>>` .

However, anyone particularly interested in getting the full value of the treelet, can just traverse the content of the treeleet @$treelet_object. To wit:

      % perl -MData::Dumper -e    "use base qw(Pod::Simple::Methody);     sub start_L { print Dumper($_[1]{'section'} ) }     __PACKAGE__->new->parse_string_document('=head1 L<Foo/bI<ar>baz>>')    "Output:  $VAR1 = bless( [                   '',                   {},                   'b',                   bless( [                            'I',                            {},                            'ar'                          ], 'Pod::Simple::LinkSection' ),                   'baz'                 ], 'Pod::Simple::LinkSection' );

But stringify it and you get just the text content:

      % perl -MData::Dumper -e    "use base qw(Pod::Simple::Methody);     sub start_L { print Dumper( '' . $_[1]{'section'} ) }     __PACKAGE__->new->parse_string_document('=head1 L<Foo/bI<ar>baz>>')    "Output:  $VAR1 = 'barbaz';
