DESCRIPTION

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

ARGUMENTS

pod2html takes the following arguments:

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.

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.

podroot

--podroot=name Specify the base directory for finding library pods.

podpath

--podpath=name:...:name Specify which subdirectories of the podroot contain pod files whose HTML converted forms can be linked-to in cross-references.

cachedir

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

flush

--flush Flush the cache.

backlink

--backlink Turn =head1 directives into links pointing to the top of the HTML file.

nobacklink

--nobacklink Do not turn =head1 directives into links pointing to the top of the HTML file (default behaviour).

header

--header Create header and footer blocks containing the text of the NAME section.

noheader

--noheader Do not create header and footer blocks containing the text of the NAME section (default behaviour).

poderrors

--poderrors Include a POD ERRORS section in the outfile if there were any POD errors in the infile (default behaviour).

nopoderrors

--nopoderrors Do not include a POD ERRORS section in the outfile if there were any POD errors in the infile.

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.

recurse

--recurse Recurse into subdirectories specified in podpath (default behaviour).

norecurse

--norecurse Do not recurse into subdirectories specified in podpath.

css

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

title

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

quiet

--quiet Don't display mostly harmless warning messages.

noquiet

--noquiet Display mostly harmless warning messages (default behaviour). But this is not the same as verbose mode.

verbose

--verbose Display progress messages.

noverbose

--noverbose Do not display progress messages (default behaviour).
