How about adding some functionality to support making PDL baseddistributions that extracts the pod from the .pd files into appropriatelynamed .pod files with the original pod content replaced by links tothe now separate pod file content?
If we wanted to be cute, they mightbe formatted such that if a search site were to index the .pd file, it could be a link to the generated pod file section. That avoids duplication of text in the distribution and allows theoriginal .pd file to be regenerated from the processed file afterextracting from the tar file. --Chris On Fri, May 10, 2013 at 10:25 AM, Joel Berger <[email protected]>wrote: > I hate when I forget to copy to the list! > > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > From: Joel Berger <[email protected]> > Date: Fri, May 10, 2013 at 7:19 AM > Subject: Re: [Perldl] PDL::Stats new release 0.6.3 on CPAN now > To: Pierre M <[email protected]> > > > It seems that the major search sites are having a harder and harder time > indexing the documentation for the special format .pd files that PDL is > used to using.
