Text::WikiFormat::BlocUser)Contributed Perl DocumenText::WikiFormat::Blocks(3)NAMEText::WikiFormat::Blocks - blocktypes for Text::WikiFormat
SYNOPSIS
None. Use Text::WikiFormat as the public interface, unless you want to
create your own block type.
DESCRIPTION
This module merely creates subclasses of Text::WikiFormat::Block, which
is the interesting code. A block is a collection of related lines,
such as a code block (text to display verbatim in a monospaced font), a
header, an unordered list, an ordered list, and a paragraph (text to
display in a proportional font).
Every block extends "Text::WikiFormat::Block".
METHODS
The following methods exist:
· "new( %args )"
Creates and returns a new block. The valid arguments are:
· "text"
The text of the line found in the block.
· "args"
The arguments captured by the block-identifying regular
expression.
· "level"
The level of indentation for the block (usually only useful for
list blocks).
· "tags"
The tags in effect for the current type of wiki formatting.
· "opts"
The options in effect for the current type of wiki formatting.
Use the accessors of the same names to retrieve the values of the
attributes.
· "add_text( @lines_of_text )"
Adds a list of lines of text to the current text for the block.
This is very useful when you encounter a block and want to merge it
with the previous block of the same type
· "add_args( @arguments )"
Adds further arguments to the block; useful when merging blocks.
· "formatted_text()"
Returns text formatted appropriately for this block. Blocks don't
have to have formatters, but they may.
· "formatter( $line_of_text )"
Formats the $line using "Text::WikiFormat::format_line()". You can
add your own formatter here; this is worth overriding.
· "merge( $next_block )"
Merges the current block with $next_block (the next block
encountered) if they're of the same type and are at the same level.
This adds the text and args of $next_block to the current block.
It's your responsibility to remove $next_block from whatever your
code iterates over.
· "nests()"
Returns true if this block should nest (as in lists and unordered
lists) for the active wiki formatting.
· "nest( $next_block )"
Nests $next_block under this block if the both nest and if
$next_block has a level greater than the current block. This
actually adds $next_block as a text item within the current block.
Beware.
