Markov,

Ahh, I see. I didn't realize that you tranformed the meta-pod into real pod. It makes much more sense now. Although I still think I would like my files to stay untouched, but I am an admitted paranoid. :)

Does XOD do more than syntax parsing?

No, at this point, XOD does no more than syntax parsing. But at this point, that is all it is supposed to do. It is by no means a doucmentation system on the level of OODoc. I have written 2 Visitor/Transformers one for "XOD to XML" and another for "XOD to HTML", and I am planning 2 more ("POD to XOD" and "XOD to POD" for backwards and forwards compatability). Primative for sure compared to what you have.
