=head1 NAME

Pod::Text::Color - Convert POD data to formatted color ASCII text

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Pod::Text::Color;
    my $parser = Pod::Text::Color->new (sentence => 0, width => 78);

    # Read POD from STDIN and write to STDOUT.
    $parser->parse_from_filehandle;

    # Read POD from file.pod and write to file.txt.
    $parser->parse_from_file ('file.pod', 'file.txt');

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Pod::Text::Color is a simple subclass of Pod::Text that highlights output
text using ANSI color escape sequences.  Apart from the color, it in all
ways functions like Pod::Text.  See L<Pod::Text> for details and available
options.

Term::ANSIColor is used to get colors and therefore must be installed to use
this module.

=head1 BUGS

This is just a basic proof of concept.  It should be seriously expanded to
support configurable coloration via options passed to the constructor, and
B<pod2text> should be taught about those.
