=head1 NAME

Pod::Perldoc::BaseTo - Base for Pod::Perldoc formatters

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    package Pod::Perldoc::ToMyFormat;

    use parent qw( Pod::Perldoc::BaseTo );
    ...

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This package is meant as a base of Pod::Perldoc formatters,
like L<Pod::Perldoc::ToText>, L<Pod::Perldoc::ToMan>, etc.

It provides default implementations for the methods

    is_pageable
    write_with_binmode
    output_extension
    _perldoc_elem

The concrete formatter must implement

    new
    parse_from_file
