Text::Decorator(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Text::Decorator(3)

Text::Decorator - Apply a chain of filters to text

        $self->new(...);
        $self->format_as(...);

Text::Decorator is a framework for marking up plain text into various formats by applying a chain of filters. For instance, you might apply a filter which will cause URIs in text to be presented as links if the text is exported as HTML.

        $self->new($text)

Creates a new Text::Decorator instance.

The class we will use for our nodes. This defaults to Text::Decorator::Node, but if you want to subclass that to change its behaviour, then you need to override this.

        $self->add_filter("EscapeHTML" => @arguments);

This adds a new filter onto the queue of filters which will be applied to this decorator; returns the decorator object.

        $self->format_as("html")

Apply all the filters and return the text in the specified representation. If the representation is unknown, plain text will be returned.
