Pod::Html
NAME SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION FUNCTIONS ENVIRONMENT AUTHOR SEE ALSO COPYRIGHT
NAME
    Pod::Html - module to convert pod files to HTML

SYNOPSIS
        use Pod::Html;
        pod2html([options]);

DESCRIPTION
    Converts files from pod format (see perlpod) to HTML format. It can automatically generate
    indexes and cross-references, and it keeps a cache of things it knows how to cross-reference.

FUNCTIONS
  pod2html
        pod2html("pod2html",
                 "--podpath=lib:ext:pod:vms",
                 "--podroot=/usr/src/perl",
                 "--htmlroot=/perl/nmanual",
                 "--recurse",
                 "--infile=foo.pod",
                 "--outfile=/perl/nmanual/foo.html");

    pod2html takes the following arguments:

    backlink
            --backlink

        Turns every "head1" heading into a link back to the top of the page. By default, no
        backlinks are generated.

    cachedir
            --cachedir=name

        Creates the directory cache in the given directory.

    css
            --css=stylesheet

        Specify the URL of a cascading style sheet. Also disables all HTML/CSS "style" attributes
        that are output by default (to avoid conflicts).

    flush
            --flush

        Flushes the directory cache.

    header
            --header
            --noheader

        Creates header and footer blocks containing the text of the "NAME" section. By default, no
        headers are generated.

    help
            --help

        Displays the usage message.

    htmldir
            --htmldir=name

        Sets the directory to which all cross references in the resulting html file will be
        relative. Not passing this causes all links to be absolute since this is the value that
        tells Pod::Html the root of the documentation tree.

        Do not use this and --htmlroot in the same call to pod2html; they are mutually exclusive.

    htmlroot
            --htmlroot=name

        Sets the base URL for the HTML files. When cross-references are made, the HTML root is
        prepended to the URL.

        Do not use this if relative links are desired: use --htmldir instead.

        Do not pass both this and --htmldir to pod2html; they are mutually exclusive.

    index
            --index
            --noindex

        Generate an index at the top of the HTML file. This is the default behaviour.

    infile
            --infile=name

        Specify the pod file to convert. Input is taken from STDIN if no infile is specified.

    outfile
            --outfile=name

        Specify the HTML file to create. Output goes to STDOUT if no outfile is specified.

    poderrors
            --poderrors
            --nopoderrors

        Include a "POD ERRORS" section in the outfile if there were any POD errors in the infile.
        This section is included by default.

    podpath
            --podpath=name:...:name

        Specify which subdirectories of the podroot contain pod files whose HTML converted forms can
        be linked to in cross references.

    podroot
            --podroot=name

        Specify the base directory for finding library pods. Default is the current working
        directory.

    quiet
            --quiet
            --noquiet

        Don't display *mostly harmless* warning messages. These messages will be displayed by
        default. But this is not the same as "verbose" mode.

    recurse
            --recurse
            --norecurse

        Recurse into subdirectories specified in podpath (default behaviour).

    title
            --title=title

        Specify the title of the resulting HTML file.

    verbose
            --verbose
            --noverbose

        Display progress messages. By default, they won't be displayed.

  htmlify
        htmlify($heading);

    Converts a pod section specification to a suitable section specification for HTML. Note that we
    keep spaces and special characters except "", ?" (Netscape problem) and the hyphen (writer's
    problem...).

  anchorify
        anchorify(@heading);

    Similar to "htmlify()", but turns non-alphanumerics into underscores. Note that "anchorify()" is
    not exported by default.

ENVIRONMENT
    Uses $Config{pod2html} to setup default options.
