POD: embedding/linking/displaying html and images on metacpan and githubby LanX (Saint) |

LanX has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hi Am I wrong or did metacpan "break" some extended display options cpan.org had? Like: On a similar note, github is using README as main entry page and allows using README.pod as alternative to markdown. But while markdown seems to allow internal links and images this seems hard in pod. I can't figure out how to write a L<> to link to the main module. I suppose this is due to ambiguous definition of POD standard.
editExample: Emacs::PDE used to link in SEE ALSO to extensive html docs inside the distribution.These links are broken now, going manually to the html files only shows the raw text for me.
updateOK the link L<lisp/doc/pde/index.html> doesn't use a scheme like html: I suppose this used to work in the old times. lisp is interpreted as a module name. On github prepending a ./ will not search a relative path inside the distribution.
Cheers Rolf
