copied!<p>No, at least not that I've ever heard whisper of. <a href="http://perldoc.perl.org/perlpod.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Pod</a> is a very simple form of markup; it shouldn't take long to learn it.</p> <p>That said, any decent text editor should be configurable to recognize Pod directives and apply syntax highlighting to them. If your editor does code-completion of keywords you'd get that too. (Note: code-completion wouldn't apply to a hypothetical WYSIWYG editor.)</p> <p>As for seeing the output, there's no standard way of rendering Pod. It can be rendered as plain text, HTML, or anything else for which someone was written a translator. Depending on your text editor you could add a "user command" to translate the current document and show it in an appropriate viewer. For example, run it through pod2html and open the resulting page in Firefox.</p> <p><strong>Edit:</strong> The <a href="http://perldoc.perl.org/perlpod.html#Hints-for-Writing-Pod" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Hints for Writing Pod</a> section of perlpod says</p> <blockquote> <p>If you're more familiar with writing in HTML than with writing in Pod, you can try your hand at writing documentation in simple HTML, and converting it to Pod with the experimental <a href="http://search.cpan.org/perldoc/Pod::HTML2Pod" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Pod::HTML2Pod</a> module</p> </blockquote> <p>which would allow you to use a WYSIWYG HTML editor to write documentation. (At least in principle; much would depend on what kind of output the editor produced.)</p>
