Dear Martin,
I prepared a new version of my Rd module for po4a (version 0.14),
with a new supported option to handle pure Rd documents (containing
only Ruby Document formatted text, without any "=begin" line).

The attached tar archive includes the module implementation and two
little documents to test it (the tests/ directory also contains the
various output files and two scripts).

As for the previous version, I am asking you to:

 * review the code I wrote

 * review the documentation I added (I haven't tried to convert it into
   a man page with POD tools, so bear with me!)

 * test the module with po4a

 * convert my tests to a proper test integrated in po4a test
   infrastructure (the t/ directory)

 * include the module in the official version of po4a

 * upload this new po4a version to Debian unstable

I hope all this can be done soon (before the stretch freeze, if
possible).

Many thanks for any help you may provide!   :-)


BTW: it seems to me that po4a/0.48-1 has waited for some 6 months in
     the git repository, without being uploaded to sid: any special
     reason for that?

P.S.: Please remember to keep me in Cc, when replying (as I am not
      subscribed to the mailing list or to the bug). Thanks.
