-## The --extrude and --mangle options can produce code with syntax errors
-
-The --extrude tries to put as many newlines in the formatted code as possible.
-The --mangle tries to remove as many newlines as possible. These options are
-very useful for stress testing perltidy (and Perl) but not so much for normal
-formatting. Occasionally they will produce code which Perl considers to have a
-syntax error. These problems often involve code where Perl is having to guess
-the tokenization based on whitespace. The given/when and switch/case
-statements are also particularly vulnerable to unusual line breaks and
-whitespace. This type of error should not normally occur in practice, but if
-it does it should be easy to fix the problem by rerunning perltidy with more
-normal parameters or by manually changing whitespace or newlines.

## The Pod:Html module has some bugs
Perltidy uses the module Pod::Html, and for the most part it works very well
