Re: POD: embedding/linking/displaying html and images on metacpan and github

I found this older discussion POD L<> and relative links? saying that L<> has no support for internal relative path. :/

Question: can I preview the rendering on metacpan prior to publishing?

You can paste or upload the POD into the POD Renderer to see how MetaCPAN will handle it.	[reply]

That's pretty damned cool, I honestly had no idea that existed! How many times did my POD look perfectly fine locally, just to find that after a release to the CPAN (after a rigorous pre-release cycle) that I had to touch up POD issues. Regarding the testing of links in POD (a bit off topic), in at least one of my distributions that uses links between several docs within the distribution (with some external to eg github pages), I took to using Test::Pod::LinkCheck (as an author/release-only test file). Works well, and advises loudly when I've messed up a POD link (which happens often). It will also find links that used to work, but no longer do.	[reply]
