## NAME
    [Pod::Perldoc::ToNroff](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Pod%3A%3APerldoc%3A%3AToNroff/markdown) - let Perldoc convert Pod to nroff

## SYNOPSIS
      perldoc -o nroff -d something.3 [Some::Modulename](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Some%3A%3AModulename/markdown)

## DESCRIPTION
    This is a "plug-in" class that allows Perldoc to use [Pod::Man](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Pod%3A%3AMan/markdown) as a formatter class.

    The following options are supported: center, date, fixed, fixedbold, fixeditalic,
    fixedbolditalic, quotes, release, section

    Those options are explained in [Pod::Man](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Pod%3A%3AMan/markdown).

    For example:

      perldoc -o nroff -w center:Pod -d something.3 [Some::Modulename](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Some%3A%3AModulename/markdown)

## CAVEAT
    This module may change to use a different pod-to-nroff formatter class in the future, and this
    may change what options are supported.
