Hi all!
Well, I kind of promised that I'll ask here about the name first, but since quite a few people was around on IRC, I think it'll be OK.
I have just uploaded the file
Formatter-HTML-Preformatted-0.1.tar.gz
which entered CPAN as
file: $CPAN/authors/id/K/KJ/KJETILK/Formatter-HTML-Preformatted-0.1.tar.gz size: 3780 bytes md5: 4fea0affd9358017a28c2b964f8b4bad
This module is a veeery simple formatter, about the simplest you can think of. It will just embed the text you give it in PRE tags, escape any <, > or & you may have in the text, and turn any URIs to hyperlinks. That's all...
I think that it is most useful when you do type a lot of code, perhaps containing stuff that would have to be escaped anyway, and you don't want to bother escaping the stuff or formatting it in a more elaborate way.
BTW, my tests aren't very good, but I tried...
Cheers,
Kjetil
