NAME

       Pod::Html - module to convert pod files to HTML

SYNOPSIS

	   use Pod::Html;
	   pod2html([options]);

DESCRIPTION

       Converts files from pod format (see perlpod) to HTML format.  It can automatically generate indexes and cross-references, and it keeps a
       cache of things it knows how to cross-reference.

FUNCTIONS

   pod2html
	   pod2html("pod2html",
		    "--podpath=lib:ext:pod:vms",
		    "--podroot=/usr/src/perl",
		    "--htmlroot=/perl/nmanual",
		    "--recurse",
		    "--infile=foo.pod",
		    "--outfile=/perl/nmanual/foo.html");

       pod2html takes the following arguments:

       backlink
	       --backlink

	   Turns every "head1" heading into a link back to the top of the page.  By default, no backlinks are generated.

       cachedir
	       --cachedir=name

	   Creates the directory cache in the given directory.

       css
	       --css=stylesheet

	   Specify the URL of a cascading style sheet.	Also disables all HTML/CSS "style" attributes that are output by default (to avoid
	   conflicts).

       flush
	       --flush

	   Flushes the directory cache.

       header
	       --header
	       --noheader

	   Creates header and footer blocks containing the text of the "NAME" section.	By default, no headers are generated.

       help
	       --help

	   Displays the usage message.

       htmldir
	       --htmldir=name

	   Sets the directory to which all cross references in the resulting html file will be relative. Not passing this causes all links to be
	   absolute since this is the value that tells Pod::Html the root of the documentation tree.

	   Do not use this and --htmlroot in the same call to pod2html; they are mutually exclusive.

       htmlroot
	       --htmlroot=name

	   Sets the base URL for the HTML files.  When cross-references are made, the HTML root is prepended to the URL.

	   Do not use this if relative links are desired: use --htmldir instead.

	   Do not pass both this and --htmldir to pod2html; they are mutually exclusive.

       index
	       --index
	       --noindex

	   Generate an index at the top of the HTML file.  This is the default behaviour.

       infile
	       --infile=name

	   Specify the pod file to convert.  Input is taken from STDIN if no infile is specified.

       outfile
	       --outfile=name

	   Specify the HTML file to create.  Output goes to STDOUT if no outfile is specified.

       poderrors
	       --poderrors
	       --nopoderrors

	   Include a "POD ERRORS" section in the outfile if there were any POD errors in the infile. This section is included by default.

       podpath
	       --podpath=name:...:name

	   Specify which subdirectories of the podroot contain pod files whose HTML converted forms can be linked to in cross references.

       podroot
	       --podroot=name

	   Specify the base directory for finding library pods. Default is the current working directory.

       quiet
	       --quiet
	       --noquiet

	   Don't display mostly harmless warning messages.  These messages will be displayed by default.  But this is not the same as "verbose"
	   mode.

       recurse
	       --recurse
	       --norecurse

	   Recurse into subdirectories specified in podpath (default behaviour).

       title
	       --title=title

	   Specify the title of the resulting HTML file.

       verbose
	       --verbose
	       --noverbose

	   Display progress messages.  By default, they won't be displayed.

   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.

ENVIRONMENT

       Uses $Config{pod2html} to setup default options.
