NAME
       podtree2html - translate a POD to HTML


SYNOPSIS
       "podtree2html" ["--base" url] ["--css" url] ["--"["no"]"toc"] ["--hr" level] ["--bgcolor"
       #rrggbb] ["--text" #rrggbb] ["--variables" values.pl] source dest [template]
       [variable=value ...]]


DESCRIPTION
       "podtree2html" reads the POD in file source, translates it to HTML, and writes it to file
       dest.  dest is created 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 "podtree2html".

         <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.
       Do not prefix variable with a "$" sigil.  Variables set on the command line override
       variables set in values.pl.


OPTIONS
       "--base" url
           Translate "L<>" sequences into HTML links relative to url.

       "--css" url
           Specifies a Cascanding Style Sheet for the generated HTML page.  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 }

               0       none
               1       between TOC and body
               2       after each =head1
               3       after each =head1 and =head2

           Default is level 1.
