## NAME
    [Pod::Perldoc::ToTerm](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Pod%3A%3APerldoc%3A%3AToTerm/markdown) - render Pod with terminal escapes

## SYNOPSIS
      perldoc -o term [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::Text](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Pod%3A%3AText/markdown) as a formatter class.

    It supports the following options, which are explained in [Pod::Text](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Pod%3A%3AText/markdown): alt, indent, loose, quotes,
    sentence, width

    For example:

      perldoc -o term -w indent:5 [Some::Modulename](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Some%3A%3AModulename/markdown)

## PAGER FORMATTING
    Depending on the platform, and because this class emits terminal escapes it will attempt to set
    the "-R" flag on your pager by injecting the flag into your environment variable for "less" or
    "more".

    On Windows and DOS, this class will not modify any environment variables.

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