NAME
d::Sections - AnomieBOT section manipulation decorator

SYNOPSIS
use AnomieBOT::API; $api = new AnomieBOT::API('conf.ini', 1); $api->decorators(qw/d::Sections/);

DESCRIPTION
contains functions to manage sections in wikitext for use by an AnomieBOT task. When "d::Sections" is used as a decorator on the API object, the following methods are available.

Also, all the methods provided by d::Templates, d::Redirects, and d::IWNS are available, as they are used internally.

METHODS PROVIDED

 * $api->split_sections( $wikitext )
 * $api->split_sections( $wikitext, $levels )
 * Splits the wikitext into an array of section object. If  is provided, it should contain the digits 1-6 representing the heading levels to consider. For example, "24" would split on "==" and "====" sections, but ignore "===" and all others.
 * A section object has the following properties:
 * level
 * The level of the section, i.e. a number 1-6. If there is any text before the first section heading, that section will have undef here.
 * title
 * The title of the section. If there is any text before the first section heading, that section will have an empty string here.
 * titlespaced
 * A boolean, indicating whether there are spaces between the =s and the title.
 * titlecomment
 * If there is a comment after the title, it is contained here.
 * body
 * The body text of the section. Depending on the  used, this may contain other section headers.


 * $api->join_sections( @sections )
 * Joins an array of section objects back together.


 * $api->extract_end_content( $text )
 * Extracts the "end content" from the passed article text. This consists of the lines containing only whitespace, categories, interlanguage links, comments, and templates (with some exceptions) from the end of the article. In a list context, returns a 2-element list consisting of the portion of  that is not end content and the portion that is; in a scalar context, returns just the portion that is.
 * The list of exceptions can be set using.


 * $api->non_end_templates
 * $api->non_end_templates( @templates )
 * Get or set the list of non-end templates.
