=pod C<foo>
say $=pod[0].contents[0].contents.perl;
["", Pod::FormattingCode.new(type => "C", meta => [], config => {},
contents => ["foo"]), ""]
It should be a single FormattingCode. This is a non-trivial bug to me
because it makes pod introspection more arduous. If you want to check for a
single special formatting code you have to make sure there are "" either
side of it.
for example, we do this in perl6/doc already:
https://github.com/perl6/doc/blob/master/htmlify.p6#L379
I think we should fix it to avoid more things depending on this behaviour.
There are a couple of tests that seem to spec the incorrect behaviour:
https://github.com/perl6/roast/blob/master/S26-documentation/08-formattingcodes.t#L9
I am going to try and fix this one unless there are any objections?
