Package: libpod-spell-perl
Version: 1.12-1
Severity: normal
Pod::Spell produces rather odd output for "words" that contain
periods, which in turn causes problems for Test::Spelling.
Consider:
wanderer:~$ podspell test.pod
Something about the kadmin.local. command
wanderer:~$ cat test.pod
=pod
Something about the B<kadmin.local> command.
wanderer:~$ podspell test.pod
Something about the kadmin.local. command
For some reason, the Pod::Spell translation adds a trailing period
to words that contain periods. Unless you're aware of this behavior,
it makes writing stopwords difficult. Notice:
wanderer:~$ cat test.pod
=for stopwords
kadmin.local
Something about the B<kadmin.local> command.
wanderer:~$ podspell test.pod
Something about the kadmin.local. command
but if you're aware of this oddity:
=for stopwords
kadmin.local.
Something about the B<kadmin.local> command.
wanderer:~$ podspell test.pod
Something about the command
