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.
