Can Markdown image links be generated using POD6?

Question

In all of my Raku packages, the README has a line at the top having Travis badge for the module, like this:

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/Kaiepi/p6-Failable.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/Kaiepi/p6-Failable)

At the moment, I am generating the README using POD6 in the main module, but I am manually copying the link to the Travis badge every time I do this. Is there some way to format the link with POD6 so I don't have to?

Which module are you using for porting Pod to Markdown? Pod::To::Markdown? – Kickshaw

Pod::To::Markdown, yes. – Ingram

If you're using perl6 --doc=Markdown myPack.pm6 > README.md , you should get the the link as is in your README.md as shown here. – Delanty

Ah, not sure why I didn't think to try that. – Ingram

@uzlxxxx can you please promote that to full answer, so that this question is not unanswered? – Kickshaw

Answer 1

You can place the Markdown link directly in the Pod and Pod::To::Markdown will leave it as is for the Pod to Markdown conversion.

does it work for badges which are mixture of an image and http link? – Banta
