NAME

       pod2texi - convert Pod to Texinfo

SYNOPSIS

         pod2texi [OPTION]... POD...

DESCRIPTION

       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 all the @includes is generated, intended to be
       @included in turn within a hand-written top-level file.

OPTIONS

       --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, with output available at
           <http://www.gnu.org/software/perl/manual>.

       --debug=NUM
           Set debugging level to NUM.

       --help
           Display help and exit.

       --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 includes.  The default is a minimal beginning for
           a Texinfo document, and sets @documentencoding to "utf-8" (because the output is
           written that way).

       --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.
