NAME
       Pod::Text::Overstrike - Convert POD data to formatted overstrike text

SYNOPSIS
           use Pod::Text::Overstrike;
           my $parser = Pod::Text::Overstrike->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');

DESCRIPTION
       Pod::Text::Overstrike is a simple subclass of Pod::Text that highlights output text using
       overstrike sequences, in a manner similar to nroff.  Characters in bold text are
       overstruck (character, backspace, character) and characters in underlined text are
       converted to overstruck underscores (underscore, backspace, character).  This format was
       originally designed for hard-copy terminals and/or line printers, yet is readable on soft-
       copy (CRT) terminals.

       Overstruck text is best viewed by page-at-a-time programs that take advantage of the
       terminal's stand-out and underline capabilities, such as the less program on Unix.

       Apart from the overstrike, it in all ways functions like Pod::Text.  See Pod::Text for
       details and available options.

BUGS
       Currently, the outermost formatting instruction wins, so for example underlined text
       inside a region of bold text is displayed as simply bold.  There may be some better
       approach possible.
