       Text::WikiFormat::Blocks - blocktypes for Text::WikiFormat

SSYYNNOOPPSSIISS
       None.  Use Text::WikiFormat as the public interface, unless you want to
       create your own block type.

DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
       This module merely creates subclasses of Text::WikiFormat::Block, which
       is the interesting code.  A block is a collection of related lines,
       such as a code block (text to display verbatim in a monospaced font), a
       header, an unordered list, an ordered list, and a paragraph (text to
       display in a proportional font).

       Every block extends "Text::WikiFormat::Block".

MMEETTHHOODDSS
       The following methods exist:

       +o   "new( %args )"

           Creates and returns a new block.  The valid arguments are:

           +o   "text"

               The text of the line found in the block.

           +o   "args"

               The arguments captured by the block-identifying regular
               expression.

           +o   "level"

               The level of indentation for the block (usually only useful for
               list blocks).

           +o   "tags"

               The tags in effect for the current type of wiki formatting.

           +o   "opts"

               The options in effect for the current type of wiki formatting.

           Use the accessors of the same names to retrieve the values of the
           attributes.

       +o   "add_text( @lines_of_text )"

           Adds a list of lines of text to the current text for the block.
           This is very useful when you encounter a block and want to merge it
           with the previous block of the same type

       +o   "add_args( @arguments )"

           Adds further arguments to the block; useful when merging blocks.

       +o   "formatted_text()"

           Returns text formatted appropriately for this block.  Blocks don't
           have to have formatters, but they may.

       +o   "formatter( $line_of_text )"

           Formats the $line using "Text::WikiFormat::format_line()".  You can
           add your own formatter here; this is worth overriding.

       +o   "merge( $next_block )"

           Merges the current block with $next_block (the next block
           encountered) if they're of the same type and are at the same level.
           This adds the text and args of $next_block to the current block.
           It's your responsibility to remove $next_block from whatever your
           code iterates over.

       +o   "nests()"

           Returns true if this block should nest (as in lists and unordered
           lists) for the active wiki formatting.

       +o   "nest( $next_block )"

           Nests $next_block under this block if the both nest and if
           $next_block has a level greater than the current block.  This
           actually adds $next_block as a text item within the current block.
           Beware.
