9# This module translates POD documentation into *roff markup using the man
10# macro set, and is intended for converting POD documents written as Unix
11# manual pages to manual pages that can be read by the man(1) command. It is
12# a replacement for the pod2man command distributed with versions of Perl
13# prior to 5.6.
14#
15# Perl core hackers, please note that this module is also separately
16# maintained outside of the Perl core as part of the podlators. Please send
17# me any patches at the address above in addition to sending them to the
18# standard Perl mailing lists.

1130=head1 NAME
1131
1132Pod::Man - Convert POD data to formatted *roff input
1133
1134=head1 SYNOPSIS
1135
1136 use Pod::Man;
1137 my $parser = Pod::Man->new (release => $VERSION, section => 8);
1138
1139 # Read POD from STDIN and write to STDOUT.
1140 $parser->parse_from_filehandle;
1141
1142 # Read POD from file.pod and write to file.1.
1143 $parser->parse_from_file ('file.pod', 'file.1');
1144
1145=head1 DESCRIPTION
1146
1147Pod::Man is a module to convert documentation in the POD format (the
1148preferred language for documenting Perl) into *roff input using the man
1149macro set. The resulting *roff code is suitable for display on a terminal
1150using L<nroff(1)>, normally via L<man(1)>, or printing using L<troff(1)>.
1151It is conventionally invoked using the driver script B<pod2man>, but it can
1152also be used directly.
1153
1154As a derived class from Pod::Parser, Pod::Man supports the same methods and
1155interfaces. See L<Pod::Parser> for all the details; briefly, one creates a
1156new parser with C<< Pod::Man->new() >> and then calls either
1157parse_from_filehandle() or parse_from_file().
1158
1159new() can take options, in the form of key/value pairs that control the
1160behavior of the parser. See below for details.
1161
1162If no options are given, Pod::Man uses the name of the input file with any
1163trailing C<.pod>, C<.pm>, or C<.pl> stripped as the man page title, to
1164section 1 unless the file ended in C<.pm> in which case it defaults to
1165section 3, to a centered title of "User Contributed Perl Documentation", to
1166a centered footer of the Perl version it is run with, and to a left-hand
1167footer of the modification date of its input (or the current date if given
1168STDIN for input).
1169
1170Pod::Man assumes that your *roff formatters have a fixed-width font named
1171CW. If yours is called something else (like CR), use the C<fixed> option to
1172specify it. This generally only matters for troff output for printing.
1173Similarly, you can set the fonts used for bold, italic, and bold italic
1174fixed-width output.
1175
1176Besides the obvious pod conversions, Pod::Man also takes care of formatting
1177func(), func(3), and simple variable references like $foo or @bar so you
1178don't have to use code escapes for them; complex expressions like
1179C<$fred{'stuff'}> will still need to be escaped, though. It also translates
1180dashes that aren't used as hyphens into en dashes, makes long dashes--like
1181this--into proper em dashes, fixes "paired quotes," makes C++ look right,
1182puts a little space between double underbars, makes ALLCAPS a teeny bit
1183smaller in B<troff>, and escapes stuff that *roff treats as special so that
1184you don't have to.
1185
1186The recognized options to new() are as follows. All options take a single
1187argument.
1188
1189=over 4
1190
1191=item center
1192
1193Sets the centered page header to use instead of "User Contributed Perl
1194Documentation".
1195
1196=item date
1197
1198Sets the left-hand footer. By default, the modification date of the input
1199file will be used, or the current date if stat() can't find that file (the
1200case if the input is from STDIN), and the date will be formatted as
1201YYYY-MM-DD.
1202
1203=item fixed
1204
1205The fixed-width font to use for vertabim text and code. Defaults to CW.
1206Some systems may want CR instead. Only matters for B<troff> output.
1207
1208=item fixedbold
1209
1210Bold version of the fixed-width font. Defaults to CB. Only matters for
1211B<troff> output.
1212
1213=item fixeditalic
1214
1215Italic version of the fixed-width font (actually, something of a misnomer,
1216since most fixed-width fonts only have an oblique version, not an italic
1217version). Defaults to CI. Only matters for B<troff> output.
1218
1219=item fixedbolditalic
1220
1221Bold italic (probably actually oblique) version of the fixed-width font.
1222Pod::Man doesn't assume you have this, and defaults to CB. Some systems
1223(such as Solaris) have this font available as CX. Only matters for B<troff>
1224output.
1225
1226=item name
1227
1228Set the name of the manual page. Without this option, the manual name is
1229set to the uppercased base name of the file being converted unless the
1230manual section is 3, in which case the path is parsed to see if it is a Perl
1231module path. If it is, a path like C<.../lib/Pod/Man.pm> is converted into
1232a name like C<Pod::Man>. This option, if given, overrides any automatic
1233determination of the name.
1234
1235=item quotes
1236
1237Sets the quote marks used to surround CE<lt>> text. If the value is a
1238single character, it is used as both the left and right quote; if it is two
1239characters, the first character is used as the left quote and the second as
1240the right quoted; and if it is four characters, the first two are used as
1241the left quote and the second two as the right quote.
1242
1243This may also be set to the special value C<none>, in which case no quote
1244marks are added around CE<lt>> text (but the font is still changed for troff
1245output).
1246
1247=item release
1248
1249Set the centered footer. By default, this is the version of Perl you run
1250Pod::Man under. Note that some system an macro sets assume that the
1251centered footer will be a modification date and will prepend something like
1252"Last modified: "; if this is the case, you may want to set C<release> to
1253the last modified date and C<date> to the version number.
1254
1255=item section
1256
1257Set the section for the C<.TH> macro. The standard section numbering
1258convention is to use 1 for user commands, 2 for system calls, 3 for
1259functions, 4 for devices, 5 for file formats, 6 for games, 7 for
1260miscellaneous information, and 8 for administrator commands. There is a lot
1261of variation here, however; some systems (like Solaris) use 4 for file
1262formats, 5 for miscellaneous information, and 7 for devices. Still others
1263use 1m instead of 8, or some mix of both. About the only section numbers
1264that are reliably consistent are 1, 2, and 3.
1265
1266By default, section 1 will be used unless the file ends in .pm in which case
1267section 3 will be selected.
1268
1269=back
1270
1271The standard Pod::Parser method parse_from_filehandle() takes up to two
1272arguments, the first being the file handle to read POD from and the second
1273being the file handle to write the formatted output to. The first defaults
1274to STDIN if not given, and the second defaults to STDOUT. The method
1275parse_from_file() is almost identical, except that its two arguments are the
1276input and output disk files instead. See L<Pod::Parser> for the specific
1277details.
1278
1279=head1 DIAGNOSTICS
1280
1281=over 4
1282
1283=item roff font should be 1 or 2 chars, not "%s"
1284
1285(F) You specified a *roff font (using C<fixed>, C<fixedbold>, etc.) that
1286wasn't either one or two characters. Pod::Man doesn't support *roff fonts
1287longer than two characters, although some *roff extensions do (the canonical
1288versions of B<nroff> and B<troff> don't either).
1289
1290=item Invalid link %s
1291
1292(W) The POD source contained a C<LE<lt>E<gt>> formatting code that
1293Pod::Man was unable to parse. You should never see this error message; it
1294probably indicates a bug in Pod::Man.
1295
1296=item Invalid quote specification "%s"
1297
1298(F) The quote specification given (the quotes option to the constructor) was
1299invalid. A quote specification must be one, two, or four characters long.
1300
1301=item %s:%d: Unknown command paragraph "%s".
1302
1303(W) The POD source contained a non-standard command paragraph (something of
1304the form C<=command args>) that Pod::Man didn't know about. It was ignored.
1305
1306=item %s:%d: Unknown escape EE<lt>%sE<gt>
1307
1308(W) The POD source contained an C<EE<lt>E<gt>> escape that Pod::Man didn't
1309know about. C<EE<lt>%sE<gt>> was printed verbatim in the output.
1310
1311=item %s:%d: Unknown formatting code %s
1312
1313(W) The POD source contained a non-standard formatting code (something of
1314the form C<XE<lt>E<gt>>) that Pod::Man didn't know about. It was ignored.
1315
1316=item %s:%d: Unmatched =back
1317
1318(W) Pod::Man encountered a C<=back> command that didn't correspond to an
1319C<=over> command.
1320
1321=back
1322
1323=head1 BUGS
1324
1325Eight-bit input data isn't handled at all well at present. The correct
1326approach would be to map EE<lt>E<gt> escapes to the appropriate UTF-8
1327characters and then do a translation pass on the output according to the
1328user-specified output character set. Unfortunately, we can't send eight-bit
1329data directly to the output unless the user says this is okay, since some
1330vendor *roff implementations can't handle eight-bit data. If the *roff
1331implementation can, however, that's far superior to the current hacked
1332characters that only work under troff.
1333
1334There is currently no way to turn off the guesswork that tries to format
1335unmarked text appropriately, and sometimes it isn't wanted (particularly
1336when using POD to document something other than Perl).
1337
1338The NAME section should be recognized specially and index entries emitted
1339for everything in that section. This would have to be deferred until the
1340next section, since extraneous things in NAME tends to confuse various man
1341page processors.
1342
1343Pod::Man doesn't handle font names longer than two characters. Neither do
1344most B<troff> implementations, but GNU troff does as an extension. It would
1345be nice to support as an option for those who want to use it.
1346
1347The preamble added to each output file is rather verbose, and most of it is
1348only necessary in the presence of EE<lt>E<gt> escapes for non-ASCII
1349characters. It would ideally be nice if all of those definitions were only
1350output if needed, perhaps on the fly as the characters are used.
1351
1352Pod::Man is excessively slow.
1353
1354=head1 CAVEATS
1355
1356The handling of hyphens and em dashes is somewhat fragile, and one may get
1357the wrong one under some circumstances. This should only matter for
1358B<troff> output.
1359
1360When and whether to use small caps is somewhat tricky, and Pod::Man doesn't
1361necessarily get it right.
