Yup, this is basically a variation of #1, where you need to know the DOM of the final HTML document. Perhaps there should be something like =for !HTML or =begin !HTML ... =end !HTML?	[reply]

Yup, this is basically a variation of #1, where you need to know the DOM of the final HTML document. There are less than ten (like 2-6) pod to ?html things with anything resembling a user base, and only 2 are "popular"... So there is not a whole lot to know, you make the text, so make it easy, resulting DOM is either one target node `<div>##tablestart ... ##tableend</div>` or a bunch of siblings `<p>##tablestart...<p>##tableend` Both are easily found if you tag the table with jquery `$(':contains("##tablestart")').each...text...replace...` or xpath (jquery also has a plugin) `var iterator = document.evaluate('//[ not(./) and contains( ., "##tablestart")/ ]', document.body, null, XPathResult.UNORDERED_NODE_ITERATOR_TYPE, null ); ...` Perhaps there should be something like =for !HTML or =begin !HTML ... =end !HTML? :) If you think you need that, you should generate the pod from some other template language ... if it doesn't drive you insane Yes, you could invent a =begin :format, but then you'd have to convince all those pod module authors to accept your solution, and all the users would have to upgrade .... seems like a nonstarter , pod is already too complex :)	[reply] [d/l] [select]

OK, I've generated the HTML tables, Textsprintfn.pm Textsprintfn.pm (source code) but turns out metacpan.org only allows certain HTML elements for security. `script` is certainly not allowed, not even `thead` or `th`. Ah well.	[reply]
