From "The Waste Land":
Phlebas the Phoenecian, a fortnight dead,The "blockcode" option preserves line breaks and spaces in the original text and renders the paragraph in a fixed-width font. For example: Here's how to output numbers with commas: sub commify { local $_ = shift; 1 while s/^(-?\d+)(\d{3})/$1,$2/; $_; } becomes
Forgot the cry of gulls, and the deep sea swell
Here's how to output numbers with commas:
sub commify {bold Words surrounded with asterisks are marked up in bold, so "*abc*" becomes "abc". bullets Spots bulleted paragraphs (beginning with optional whitespace, an asterisk or hyphen, and whitespace) and marks them up as an unordered list. Bulleted paragraphs don't have to be separated by blank lines. For example, Shopping list: * apples * pears becomes
local $_ = shift;
1 while s/^(-?\d+)(\d{3})/$1,$2/;
$_;
}
Shopping list:
apples
pears

Paragraph 1
Paragraph 2
If two or more of the options "pre", "lines" and "paras" are set, then "pre" takes precedence over "lines", which takes precedence over "paras". pre Wrap the whole input in a "" element. For example,
preformatted
text
becomes
preformatted
text
If two or more of the options "pre", "lines" and "paras" are set,
then "pre" takes precedence over "lines", which takes precedence
over "paras".
spaces
Preserves spaces throughout the text. For example,
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
becomes
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
This option is ignored unless the "lines" option is set.
tables
Spots tables and marks them up appropriately. Columns must be
separated by two or more spaces (this prevents accidental incorrect
recognition of a paragraph where interword spaces happen to line
up). If there are two or more rows in a paragraph and all rows share
the same set of (two or more) columns, the paragraph is assumed to
be a table. For example
-e File exists.
-z File has zero size.
-s File has nonzero size (returns size).
becomes
| -e | File exists. |
| -z | File has zero size. |
| -s | File has nonzero size (returns size). |
Paragraph 2
This option is ignored unless the "paras" option is set. underline Words surrounded with underscores are marked up with underline, so "_abc_" becomes "abc". urls Spots Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) in the text and converts them to links. For example See https://perl.com/. becomes See https://perl.com/. SEE ALSO The "HTML::Entities" module (part of the LWP package) provides functions for encoding and decoding HTML entities. Tom Christiansen has a complete implementation of RFC 822 structured field bodies. See "http://www.perl.com/CPAN/authors/Tom_Christiansen/scripts/ckaddr.gz". Seth Golub's "txt2html" utility does everything that "HTML::FromText" does, and a few things that it would like to do. See "http://www.thehouse.org/txt2html/". RFC 822: "Standard for the Format of ARPA Internet Text Messages" describes the syntax of email addresses (the more esoteric features of structured field bodies, in particular quoted-strings, domain literals and comments, are not recognized by "HTML::FromText"). See "ftp://src.doc.ic.ac.uk/rfc/rfc822.txt". RFC 1630: "Universal Resource Identifiers in WWW" lists the protocols that may appear in URLs. "HTML::FromText" also recognizes "https:", but ignores "file:" because experience suggests that it results in too many false positives. See "ftp://src.doc.ic.ac.uk/rfc/rfc1630.txt".
