       Pod::Html::Util - helper functions for Pod-Html

SUBROUTINES

       Note: While these functions are importable on request from Pod::Html::Util, they are specifically
       intended for use within (a) the Pod-Html distribution (modules and test programs) shipped as part of the
       Perl 5 core and (b) other parts of the core such as the installhtml program.  These functions may be
       modified or relocated within the core distribution -- or removed entirely therefrom -- as the core's
       needs evolve.  Hence, you should not rely on these functions in situations other than those just
       described.

   process_command_line()
       Process command-line switches (options).  Returns a reference to a hash.  Will provide usage message if
       "--help" switch is present or if parameters are invalid.

       Calling this subroutine may modify @ARGV.

   usage()
       Display customary Pod::Html usage information on STDERR.

   unixify()
       Ensure that Pod::Html's internals and tests handle paths consistently across Unix, Windows and VMS.

   relativize_url()
       Convert an absolute URL to one relative to a base URL.  Assumes both end in a filename.

   html_escape()
       Make text safe for HTML.

   htmlify()
           htmlify($heading);

       Converts a pod section specification to a suitable section specification for HTML. Note that we keep
       spaces and special characters except "", ?" (Netscape problem) and the hyphen (writer's problem...).

   anchorify()
           anchorify(@heading);

       Similar to htmlify(), but turns non-alphanumerics into underscores.  Note that anchorify() is not
       exported by default.

   trim_leading_whitespace()
       Remove any level of indentation (spaces or tabs) from each code block consistently.  Adapted from:
