133 | .SH "NAME" | |
134 | pod2text \- Convert POD data to formatted ASCII text | |
135 | .SH "SYNOPSIS" | |
136 | .IX Header "SYNOPSIS" | |
137 | pod2text [\fB\-aclost\fR] [\fB\-\-code\fR] [\fB\-i\fR \fIindent\fR] [\fB\-q\fR\ \fIquotes\fR] | |

141 | .SH "DESCRIPTION" | |
142 | .IX Header "DESCRIPTION" | |
143 | \&\fBpod2text\fR is a front-end for Pod::Text and its subclasses. It uses them | |
144 | to generate formatted \s-1ASCII\s0 text from \s-1POD\s0 source. It can optionally use | |
145 | either termcap sequences or \s-1ANSI\s0 color escape sequences to format the text. | |
146 | .PP | |
147 | \&\fIinput\fR is the file to read for \s-1POD\s0 source (the \s-1POD\s0 can be embedded in | |
148 | code). If \fIinput\fR isn't given, it defaults to \s-1STDIN\s0. \fIoutput\fR, if given, | |
149 | is the file to which to write the formatted output. If \fIoutput\fR isn't | |
150 | given, the formatted output is written to \s-1STDOUT\s0. | |
151 | .SH "OPTIONS" | |
152 | .IX Header "OPTIONS" | |
153 | .IP "\fB\-a\fR, \fB\-\-alt\fR" 4 | |
154 | .IX Item "-a, --alt" | |
155 | Use an alternate output format that, among other things, uses a different | |
156 | heading style and marks \f(CW\*(C`=item\*(C'\fR entries with a colon in the left margin. | |
157 | .IP "\fB\-\-code\fR" 4 | |
158 | .IX Item "--code" | |
159 | Include any non-POD text from the input file in the output as well. Useful | |
160 | for viewing code documented with \s-1POD\s0 blocks with the \s-1POD\s0 rendered and the | |
161 | code left intact. | |
162 | .IP "\fB\-c\fR, \fB\-\-color\fR" 4 | |
163 | .IX Item "-c, --color" | |
164 | Format the output with \s-1ANSI\s0 color escape sequences. Using this option | |
165 | requires that Term::ANSIColor be installed on your system. | |
166 | .IP "\fB\-i\fR \fIindent\fR, \fB\-\-indent=\fR\fIindent\fR" 4 | |
167 | .IX Item "-i indent, --indent=indent" | |
168 | Set the number of spaces to indent regular text, and the default indentation | |
169 | for \f(CW\*(C`=over\*(C'\fR blocks. Defaults to 4 spaces if this option isn't given. | |
170 | .IP "\fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR" 4 | |
171 | .IX Item "-h, --help" | |
172 | Print out usage information and exit. | |
173 | .IP "\fB\-l\fR, \fB\-\-loose\fR" 4 | |
174 | .IX Item "-l, --loose" | |
175 | Print a blank line after a \f(CW\*(C`=head1\*(C'\fR heading. Normally, no blank line is | |
176 | printed after \f(CW\*(C`=head1\*(C'\fR, although one is still printed after \f(CW\*(C`=head2\*(C'\fR, | |
177 | because this is the expected formatting for manual pages; if you're | |
178 | formatting arbitrary text documents, using this option is recommended. | |
179 | .IP "\fB\-o\fR, \fB\-\-overstrike\fR" 4 | |
180 | .IX Item "-o, --overstrike" | |
181 | Format the output with overstruck printing. Bold text is rendered as | |
182 | character, backspace, character. Italics and file names are rendered as | |
183 | underscore, backspace, character. Many pagers, such as \fBless\fR, know how | |
184 | to convert this to bold or underlined text. | |
185 | .IP "\fB\-q\fR \fIquotes\fR, \fB\-\-quotes\fR=\fIquotes\fR" 4 | |
186 | .IX Item "-q quotes, --quotes=quotes" | |
187 | Sets the quote marks used to surround C<> text to \fIquotes\fR. If | |
188 | \&\fIquotes\fR is a single character, it is used as both the left and right | |
189 | quote; if \fIquotes\fR is two characters, the first character is used as the | |
190 | left quote and the second as the right quoted; and if \fIquotes\fR is four | |
191 | characters, the first two are used as the left quote and the second two as | |
192 | the right quote. | |
193 | .Sp | |
194 | \&\fIquotes\fR may also be set to the special value \f(CW\*(C`none\*(C'\fR, in which case no | |
195 | quote marks are added around C<> text. | |
196 | .IP "\fB\-s\fR, \fB\-\-sentence\fR" 4 | |
197 | .IX Item "-s, --sentence" | |
198 | Assume each sentence ends with two spaces and try to preserve that spacing. | |
199 | Without this option, all consecutive whitespace in non-verbatim paragraphs | |
200 | is compressed into a single space. | |
201 | .IP "\fB\-t\fR, \fB\-\-termcap\fR" 4 | |
202 | .IX Item "-t, --termcap" | |
203 | Try to determine the width of the screen and the bold and underline | |
204 | sequences for the terminal from termcap, and use that information in | |
205 | formatting the output. Output will be wrapped at two columns less than the | |
206 | width of your terminal device. Using this option requires that your system | |
207 | have a termcap file somewhere where Term::Cap can find it and requires that | |
208 | your system support termios. With this option, the output of \fBpod2text\fR | |
209 | will contain terminal control sequences for your current terminal type. | |
210 | .IP "\fB\-w\fR, \fB\-\-width=\fR\fIwidth\fR, \fB\-\fR\fIwidth\fR" 4 | |
211 | .IX Item "-w, --width=width, -width" | |
212 | The column at which to wrap text on the right-hand side. Defaults to 76, | |
213 | unless \fB\-t\fR is given, in which case it's two columns less than the width of | |
214 | your terminal device. | |
215 | .SH "DIAGNOSTICS" | |
216 | .IX Header "DIAGNOSTICS" | |
217 | If \fBpod2text\fR fails with errors, see Pod::Text and Pod::Parser for | |
218 | information about what those errors might mean. Internally, it can also | |
219 | produce the following diagnostics: | |
220 | .IP "\-c (\-\-color) requires Term::ANSIColor be installed" 4 | |
221 | .IX Item "-c (--color) requires Term::ANSIColor be installed" | |
222 | (F) \fB\-c\fR or \fB\-\-color\fR were given, but Term::ANSIColor could not be | |
223 | loaded. | |
224 | .ie n .IP "Unknown option: %s" 4 | |
225 | .el .IP "Unknown option: \f(CW%s\fR" 4 | |
226 | .IX Item "Unknown option: %s" | |
227 | (F) An unknown command line option was given. | |
228 | .PP | |
229 | In addition, other Getopt::Long error messages may result | |
230 | from invalid command-line options. | |
231 | .SH "ENVIRONMENT" | |
232 | .IX Header "ENVIRONMENT" | |
233 | .IP "\s-1COLUMNS\s0" 4 | |
234 | .IX Item "COLUMNS" | |
235 | If \fB\-t\fR is given, \fBpod2text\fR will take the current width of your screen | |
236 | from this environment variable, if available. It overrides terminal width | |
237 | information in \s-1TERMCAP\s0. | |
238 | .IP "\s-1TERMCAP\s0" 4 | |
239 | .IX Item "TERMCAP" | |
240 | If \fB\-t\fR is given, \fBpod2text\fR will use the contents of this environment | |
241 | variable if available to determine the correct formatting sequences for your | |
242 | current terminal device. | |
243 | .SH "SEE ALSO" | |
