pod2texi - convert Pod to Texinfo

pod2texi [OPTION]… POD…

Translate Pod file(s) to Texinfo. There are two basic modes of operation. First, by default, each Pod is translated to a standalone Texinfo manual.

Second, if --base-level is set higher than 0, each Pod is translated to a file suitable for @include, and one more file with a main menu and all the @include is generated.

–appendix-sections

Use appendix sectioning commands (@appendix, …) instead of the default numbered sectioning Texinfo @-commands (@chapter, @section, …).

–base-level=NUM|NAME

Sets the level of the head1 commands. It may be an integer or a Texinfo sectioning command (without the @): 1 corresponds to the @chapter=/=@unnumbered level, 2 to the @section level, and so on. The default is 0, meaning that head1 commands are still output as chapters, but the output is arranged as a standalone manual. If the level is not 0, the Pod file is rendered as a fragment of a Texinfo manual suitable for @include. In this case, each Pod file has an additional sectioning command covering the entire file, one level above the --base-level value. Therefore, to make each Pod file a chapter in a large manual, you should use section as the base level. For an example of making Texinfo out of the Perl documentation itself, see contrib/perldoc-all in the Texinfo source distribution.

–debug=NUM

Set debugging level to NUM.

–headings-as-sections

Use headings commands (@heading, …) instead of the default numbered sectioning Texinfo @-commands (@chapter, @section, …). The sectioning command covering the entire file output for each Pod file if –base-level is not 0 is a numbered command.

–help

Display help and exit.

–menus

Output node menus. If there is a main manual, its Top node menu is always output, since a master menu is generated. Other nodes menus are not output in the default case.

–output=NAME

Name for the first manual, or the main manual if there is a main manual. Default is to write to standard output.

–no-section-nodes

Use anchors for sections instead of nodes.

–no-fill-section-gaps

Do not fill sectioning gaps with empty @unnumbered files. Ordinarily, it's good to keep the sectioning hierarchy intact.

–preamble=STR

Insert STR as top boilerplate before menu and includes. If STR is set to -, read the top boilerplate from the standard input. The default top boilerplate is a minimal beginning for a Texinfo document.

–setfilename=STR

Use STR in top boilerplate before menu and includes for @setfilename. No @setfilename is output in the default case.

–subdir=NAME

If there is a main manual with include files (each corresponding to an input Pod file), then those include files are put in directory NAME.

–unnumbered-sections

Use unnumbered sectioning commands (@unnumbered, …) instead of the default numbered sectioning Texinfo @-commands (@chapter, @section, …).

–top=TOP

Name of the @top element for the main manual. May contain Texinfo code.

–version

Display version information and exit.
