The problem is that BBEdit (Bare Bones Editor) doesn't do text formatting.
The best solution, IMO, would be to have an extension that does what
command-K does for HTML files and Web browsers; if you hit select the
extension it would launch Shuck with the current POD file.

I have never written a BBEdit extension, but it doesn't sound too complicated.
