But the idea of ePod is to always convert it to POD, and produce nice well formated POD.

There is not a big difference between "can produce POD" (and HTML) and "always produces POD". So why a "But"?

What I think interesting on OODoc is the use of templates to generate the HTML. How they work?

Just like CGI templates: have a constant template, which indicates where dynamic data must be filled in. You can best look at the examples included in the distribution. For HTML you may need a lot of templates, but for POD it is very very simple.

In my experience, POD (being a visual markup language) does not contain sufficient information to create good HTML. The resulting HTML can be much nicer. See for instance the Mail::Box docs. For the author, it still looks like POD...

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr

            For:     Use:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
    [ &#91;
