pod2html - convert .pod files to .html files

pod2html –help –htmldir=<name> –htmlroot=<URL> –infile=<name> –outfile=<name> –podpath=<name>:…:<name> –podroot=<name> –cachedir=<name> –flush –recurse –norecurse –quiet –noquiet –verbose –noverbose –index –noindex –backlink –nobacklink –header –noheader –poderrors –nopoderrors –css=<URL> –title=<name>

Converts files from pod format (see perlpod) to HTML format.

pod2html takes the following arguments:

backlink

–backlink –nobacklink Turn =head1 directives into links pointing to the top of the HTML file. –nobacklink (which is the default behavior) does not create these backlinks.

cachedir

–cachedir=name Specify which directory is used for storing cache. Default directory is the current working directory.

css

–css=URL Specify the URL of cascading style sheet to link from resulting HTML file. Default is none style sheet.

flush

–flush Flush the cache.

header

–header –noheader Create header and footer blocks containing the text of the "NAME" section. –noheader – which is the default behavior – does not create header or footer blocks.

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=URL 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 Generate an index at the top of the HTML file (default behaviour).

noindex

–noindex Do not generate an index at the top of the HTML file.

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 (default behaviour). –nopoderrors does not create this "POD ERRORS" section.

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.

quiet

–quiet –noquiet Don't display mostly harmless warning messages. –noquiet – which is the default behavior – does display these mostly harmless warning messages (but this is not the same as "verbose" mode).

recurse

–recurse –norecurse Recurse into subdirectories specified in podpath (default behaviour). –norecurse does not recurse into these subdirectories.

title

–title=title Specify the title of the resulting HTML file.

verbose

–verbose –noverbose Display progress messages. –noverbose – which is the default behavior – does not display these progress messages.
