NAME
pods2html - translate a tree of PODs to HTML
SYNOPSIS
"pods2html" ["--base" url] ["--css" url] ["--empty"] ["--index" title] ["--module"] ["--"["no"]"toc"] ["--hr" level] ["--bgcolor" #rrggbb] ["--text" #rrggbb] ["--variables" values.pl] PODdir HTMLdir [template [variable=value ...]]
DESCRIPTION
"pods2html" finds all the .pod and .pm files in the directory tree rooted at PODdir. It translates each POD to HTML, and writes it to a parallel directory tree rooted at HTMLdir It makes the HTML files world-readable. If a template file is provided, then template will be filled in by the "Text::Template" module and written to dest. Here is a minimal template, showing all the variables that are set by "pods2html". <html> <head> <base href="{$base}"> <link href="{$css}" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"> <title>{$title}</title> </head> <body bgcolor="{$bgcolor}" text="{$text}"> {$toc} {$body} </body> </html> If the "--variables" option is provided, then the file values.pl will be executed with a "do" call before the template is filled in. values.pl may contain arbitrary Perl code. The program fragments in the template are evaulted in the "Pod::Tree::HTML" package. Any variables that values.pl sets in this package will be available to the template. Additional scalar variables may be set on the command line with the variable=value syntax. Variables set on the command line override variables set in values.pl.
OPTIONS
"--base" url Specifies a base URL for HTML links. "--css" url Specifies a Cascanding Style Sheet for the generated HTML pages. Here are example rules for all the different HTML elements that may appear in a POD. a:link { background: #ff8080 } body { background: #f0f0f0 } code { background: #c0ffc0 } dd { background: #ffffe0 } dl { background: #fffff0 } dt { background: #ffffc0 } h1 { background: #ffc0c0 } h2 { background: #ffe0e0 } hr { background: #ff0000; height: 5px } i { background: #ffc0c0 } li { background: #e0e0e0 } ol { background: #fff0ff } p { background: #f0f0ff } pre { background: #f0fff0 } ul { background: #f0ffff } "--empty" Creates HTML files for empty PODs. If this option is not provided, then no HTML file is created for empty PODs. "--index" title Writes an index of all the HTML files to HTMLDir/index.html. title is used as the title of the index page. "--module" Ignores files in directories named t/ and blib/. Useful for translating PODs in a module development directory. "--"["no"]"toc" Includes or omits the table of contents. Default is to include the TOC. "--hr" level Controls the profusion of horizontal lines in the output, as follows: level horizontal lines 0 none 1 between TOC and body 2 after each =head1 3 after each =head1 and =head2 Default is level 1. "--bgcolor" #rrggbb Set the background color to #rrggbb. Default is white. "--text" #rrggbb Set the text color to #rrggbb. Default is black.
REQUIRES
"Pod::Tree::HTML", "HTML::Stream"
BUGS
The recursion check doesn't work on Win32. This means that the program will enter an infinite recursion if HTMLdir is a subdirectory of PODdir.
