.SH "NAME"
Pod::Elemental::Paragraph \- a paragraph in a Pod document
.SH "VERSION"
.IX Header "VERSION"
version 0.103006
.SH "OVERVIEW"
.IX Header "OVERVIEW"
This is probably the most important role in the Pod-Elemental distribution.
Classes including this role represent paragraphs in a Pod document.  The
paragraph is the fundamental unit of dividing up Pod documents, so this is a
often-included role.
.SH "PERL VERSION"
.IX Header "PERL VERSION"
This library should run on perls released even a long time ago.  It should work
on any version of perl released in the last five years.
.PP
Although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made that the
minimum required version will not be increased.  The version may be increased
for any reason, and there is no promise that patches will be accepted to lower
the minimum required perl.
.SH "ATTRIBUTES"
.IX Header "ATTRIBUTES"
.SS "content"
.IX Subsection "content"
This is the textual content of the element, as in a Pod::Eventual event.  In
other words, this Pod:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&  =head2 content
.Ve
.PP
has a content of \*(L"content\en\*(R"
.SS "start_line"
.IX Subsection "start_line"
This attribute, which may or may not be set, indicates the line in the source
document where the element began.
.SH "METHODS"
.IX Header "METHODS"
.SS "as_pod_string"
.IX Subsection "as_pod_string"
This returns the element  as a string, suitable for turning elements back into
a document.  Some elements, like a \f(CW\*(C`=over\*(C'\fR command, will stringify to include
extra content like a \f(CW\*(C`=back\*(C'\fR command.  In the case of elements with children,
this method will include the stringified children as well.
.SS "as_debug_string"
.IX Subsection "as_debug_string"
This method returns a string, like \f(CW\*(C`as_string\*(C'\fR, but is meant for getting an
overview of the document structure, and is not suitable for reproducing a
document.  Its exact output is likely to change over time.
