Package: libpod-xhtml-perl (1.61-2)

module for translating POD to XHTML

There's Pod::PXML and Pod::XML, so why is Pod::Xhtml needed? You need an XSLT to transform XML into XHTML and many people don't have the time or inclination to do this. But they want to make sure that the pages they put on their web site are well-formed, they want those pages to use stylesheets easily, and possibly they want to squirt the XHTML through some kind of filter for more processing.

By generating well-formed XHTML straight away anyone can just use the output files as-is. For those who want to use XML tools or transformations they can use the XHTML as a source, because it's a well-formed XML document.
