#pod =head1 DESCRIPTION
#pod
#pod Pod::Elemental is a system for treating a Pod (L<plain old
#pod documentation|perlpod>) documents as trees of elements.  This model may be
#pod familiar from many other document systems, especially the HTML DOM.
#pod Pod::Elemental's document object model is much less sophisticated than the HTML
#pod DOM, but still makes a lot of document transformations easy.
#pod
#pod In general, you'll want to read in a Pod document and then perform a number of
#pod prepackaged transformations on it.  The most common of these will be the L<Pod5
#pod transformation|Pod::Elemental::Transformer::Pod5>, which assumes that the basic
#pod meaning of Pod commands described in the Perl 5 documentation hold: C<=begin>,
#pod C<=end>, and C<=for> commands mark regions of the document, leading whitespace
#pod marks a verbatim paragraph, and so on.  The Pod5 transformer also eliminates
#pod the need to track elements representing vertical whitespace.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Pod::Elemental;
  use Pod::Elemental::Transformer::Pod5;

  my $document = Pod::Elemental->read_file('lib/Pod/Elemental.pm');

  Pod::Elemental::Transformer::Pod5->new->transform_node($document);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Pod::Elemental is a system for treating a Pod (L<plain old
documentation|perlpod>) documents as trees of elements.  This model may be
familiar from many other document systems, especially the HTML DOM.
Pod::Elemental's document object model is much less sophisticated than the HTML
DOM, but still makes a lot of document transformations easy.

In general, you'll want to read in a Pod document and then perform a number of
prepackaged transformations on it.  The most common of these will be the L<Pod5
transformation|Pod::Elemental::Transformer::Pod5>, which assumes that the basic
meaning of Pod commands described in the Perl 5 documentation hold: C<=begin>,
C<=end>, and C<=for> commands mark regions of the document, leading whitespace
marks a verbatim paragraph, and so on.  The Pod5 transformer also eliminates
the need to track elements representing vertical whitespace.

=head1 ATTRIBUTES

=head2 event_reader

The event reader (by default a new instance of
L<Pod::Eventual::Simple|Pod::Eventual::Simple> is used to convert input into an
event stream.  In general, it should provide C<read_*> methods that behave like
Pod::Eventual::Simple.

=head2 objectifier

The objectifier (by default a new Pod::Elemental::Objectifier) must provide an
C<objectify_events> method that converts Pod events into
Pod::Elemental::Element objects.

=head2 document_class

This is the class for documents created by reading pod.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 read_handle

=head2 read_file

=head2 read_string

These methods read the given input and return a Pod::Elemental::Document.
