DESCRIPTION

Text::Textile::PostScript is a sub-class of Text::Textile::Plaintext that produces PostScript output instead of plain text. See Text::Textile::Plaintext for more detail.

METHODS

This class only defines the following two methods. It inherits everything else from Text::Textile::Plaintext.

new([%args])

Create a new instance of this class. This constructor calls the super-class constructor after handling the formatter parameter and setting up an instance of HTML::FormatRTF to pass to the parent. This method only handles the following parameter:

formatter($obj|$hashref)

Specify either a pre-created instance of HTML::FormatPS (or a suitable sub-class) or a hash-reference of parameters to pass to the constructor when creating one. If this parameter is not present, an object is created with the default parameters (as according to HTML::FormatPS). The exception to this is that the default paper-size in HTML::FormatPS is "A4", whereas this module defaults paper size to "Letter". See HTML::FormatPS for details on the options available to the constructor.

See documentation of the new() method in Text::Textile::Plaintext for additional recognized parameters.

textile($textile)

This method is defined in this class so that it can be imported and used procedurally, as textile() is used in either Text::Textile::Plaintext or Text::Textile itself. It renders the Textile mark-up in $textile to HTML, then renders the resulting HTML tree into PostScript. It returns the PostScript content as a single string.
