The following options are supported by the "Pod::Simple::Wiki::Mediawiki" constructor:

custom_tags

This option accepts a hashref containing the HTML tag to MediaWiki mappings.

For example, if your MediaWiki installation has the SyntaxHighlight GeSHi <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi> extension installed, you could pass the following custom tags to enable your verbatim paragraphs to be syntax highlighted:

    {
        custom_tags => {
            '<pre>'     => "<syntaxhighlight lang=\"perl\">\n",
            '</pre>'    => "\n</syntaxhighlight>\n",
        }
    }
    

Any custom tags you define will override the classes' default tags as defined in the $tags variable.

Defaults to "{}".

transformer_lists

If enabled, modify the item list output to better support the Pod::Elemental::Transformer::List style of lists (as used by many Dist::Zilla based distros via Pod::Weaver).

For example, the output of the following list definition:

    =for :list
    * Point one
    This is pointy
    * Point two
    That hurts
    

will be transformed into:

    * Point one<p>This is pointy</p>
    * Point two<p>That hurts</p>
    

This will be rendered as a bulleted with list headings that have correctly indented paragraph blocks immediately beneath.

Defaults to 0.

link_prefix

If set, all links without any extra qualifier text are prefixed with the given URL. A useful URL to set this option to is: "http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?", which will enable the links to be correctly resolved to the external links when used within your internal MediaWiki site.

Defaults to 0.

sentence_case_headers

This option will modify any "=head1" header by lower-casing it and then upper-casing the first character.

For example, this header:

    =head1 DESCRIPTION
    

becomes:

    =head1 Description
    

This option is inspired from <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#Article_titles> in the Wikipedia "Manual of Style".

Defaults to 0.

remove_name_section

If enabled, modify the resultant wiki output text to remove the "NAME" (or "Name") section, but first parse out the embedded abstract text and place that at the top of the wiki page, as a brief introduction.

Defaults to 0.
