 Pod::Html - module to convert pod files to HTML

SSYYNNOOPPSSIISS #

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

DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN #

 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.

ppoodd22hhttmmll 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 _m_o_s_t_l_y _h_a_r_m_l_e_s_s 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.

AAuuxxiilliiaarryy FFuunnccttiioonnss Prior to perl-5.36, the following three functions were exported by _P_o_d_:_:_H_t_m_l, either by default or on request:

 •   "htmlify()" (by default)

 •   "anchorify()" (upon request)

 •   "relativize_url()" (upon request)

 The definition and documentation of these functions have been moved to
 _P_o_d_:_:_H_t_m_l_:_:_U_t_i_l, viewable via "perldoc Pod::Html::Util".

 In perl-5.36, these functions will be importable from either _P_o_d_:_:_H_t_m_l or
 _P_o_d_:_:_H_t_m_l_:_:_U_t_i_l.  However, beginning with perl-5.38 they will only be
 importable, upon request, from _P_o_d_:_:_H_t_m_l_:_:_U_t_i_l.  Please modify your code
 as needed.
