=head1 NAME

Pod::Perldoc::ToText - let Perldoc render Pod as plaintext

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  perldoc -o text Some::Modulename

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This is a "plug-in" class that allows Perldoc to use
Pod::Text as a formatter class.

It supports the following options, which are explained in
L<Pod::Text>: alt, indent, loose, quotes, sentence, width

For example:

  perldoc -o text -w indent:5 Some::Modulename

=head1 CAVEAT

This module may change to use a different text formatter class in the
future, and this may change what options are supported.
