Hello,

I have much to announce this week. Well, not too much, but I am excited
about it so it seems like a lot.

Starting off from where Ieft last week: I have finally gotten cross
references working in my new Pod::Html! It took a great deal of time,
tinkering, and help from my mentors, but it is finally implemented. The
decided strategy I used to finish was the 'Do what I can and wait for bug
reports', as trying to fully comprehend what is going on is not worth the
time commitment.

After that accomplishment, I started working on test cases for the new
Pod::Html. This is what I am doing right now, but it should not take much
longer, (naively) assuming no setbacks occur. Well, assuming no *other*
setbacks occur: I realized, thanks to the test cases, that
Pod::Simple::XHTML does not anchor =item directives, thus they are not
linkable. I thought it would be an easy bug to fix but it is proving
difficult. rjbs and theory, my mentors, are helping me patch it up, for
which I am very thankful.

For this week I hope to have fixed the aforementioned =item anchoring bug,
finish converting the test cases (and maybe adding new ones), implementing
the --norecurse option in ::Search, and writing test cases for that. If I
can complete all of this, then I can call myself done with Pod::Html. Done
Enough, anyway.
