Discussions

Switched to using PerlDocPlugin for function-level documentation, and set parent topic to CodevDocumentationProject.

Any idea why there is a newline before the attachment table? Line 74:

$text = "\n$header$metaText\n\n";

Any reason why I shouldn't make Attachment dynamically attach everything found in the appropriate pub directories?

-- MartinCleaver - 15 Oct 2004

Yes, meta-data in the topics. Wait for LocationLocationLocation, which encapsulates attahcment handling code much better and would be a better starting point (good idea, BTW!)

Should I assume you mean because MetaData can only be accessed if you access the topic as well?
