This format was originally designed for +hardcopy terminals and/or lineprinters, yet is readable on softcopy (CRT) +terminals. + +Overstruck text is best viewed by page-at-a-time programs that take +advantage of the terminal's B<stand-out> and I<underline> capabilities, such +as the less program on Unix. + +Apart from the overstrike, it in all ways functions like Pod::Text. See +L<Pod::Text> for details and available options. + +=head1 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. + +=head1 SEE ALSO + +L<Pod::Text|Pod::Text>, L<Pod::Parser|Pod::Parser> + +=head1 AUTHOR + +Joe Smith E<lt>Joe.Smith@inwap.comE<gt>, using the framework created by Russ +Allbery E<lt>rra@stanford.eduE<gt>. + +=cut |
