Plain Old Documentation, abbreviated pod, is a lightweight markup language used to document the Perl programming language. ==Design== Pod is designed to be a simple, clean language with just enough syntax to be useful. It purposefully does not include mechanisms for fonts, images, colors or tables. Some of its goals are: * Easy to parse * Easy to convert to other formats, such as XML, TeX or Markdown * Easy to incorporate sample code * Easy to read without a pod formatter (i.e. in its source-code form) * Easy to write in An extended version of pod that supports tables and footnotes called PseudoPOD has been used by O'Reilly & Associates to produce several Perl books, most notably ''Programming Perl'' by Larry Wall, Tom Christiansen, and Jon Orwant. Mark Jason Dominus used a modified version called mod to write Higher-Order Perl. Pod makes it easy to write manual pages, which are well suited to user-oriented documents. In contrast, other documentation systems, such as Python's Docstring or Java's Javadoc, though they can be used for user documentation, are designed to facilitate generating developer-oriented documentation about the source code for a software project. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Plain Old Documentation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
