NAME

       pod2docbook - Convert POD data to DocBook SGML

SYNOPSIS

       pod2docbook [--help] [--doctype=article|chapter|section|refentry] [--title=title] [--spaces=# spaces per indent level]
       [--fix-double-quotes] [--no-header] [--base-id=idstring] [infile [outfile]]

DESCRIPTION

       pod2docbook converts files from pod format (see perlpod) to DocBook 4.2 SGML (see <http://www.docbook.org/>).  The program itself is merely
       a driver for the Pod::2::DocBook class; if you're interested in details of pod-to-SGML translation see Pod::2::DocBook.

OPTIONS AND ARGUMENTS

       [--help]
	   Print usage and exit.

       [--doctype=article|chapter|section|refentry]
	   Specifies the document type for the output file; the default is section.

       [--title=title]
	   Specifies the document title.  The default is infile, if it is supplied, or empty string otherwise.

       [--spaces=# spaces per indent level]
	   Specifies the number of spaces per indent level in the SGML output; the default is 2.

       [--fix-double-quotes]
	   Replace pairs of double quotes in regular paragraphs with <quote> and </quote> (see Pod::2::DocBook for details).

       [--no-header]
	   Omit the DOCTYPE line from the output.

       infile
	   The name of the file from which to read pod source; if not supplied, STDIN is used for input.

       outfile
	   The name of the file to which to write SGML; if not supplied, STDOUT is used for output.

       [--base-id=idstring]
	   The root element of the --doctype will have the idstring set for attribute id.  The default is an input file name "cleaned up" to
	   conform with XML restriction for characteds used in id strings. (SEE http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-xml-20001006#NT-Name

AUTHOR

       Alligator Descartes <descarte@symbolstone.org> wrote a module called Pod::2::DocBook, which was later maintained by Jan Iven
       <jan.iven@cern.ch>.  That module was based on the original pod2html by Tom Christiansen <tchrist@mox.perl.com>.

       Nandu Shah <nandu@zvolve.com> wrote Pod::DocBook, which is unrelated to the previous module (even though they both perform the same
       function). (http://search.cpan.org/~nandu/Pod-DocBook-1.2/ <http://search.cpan.org/~nandu/Pod-DocBook-1.2/>)

       Jozef Kutej <jkutej@cpan.org> renamed the module to Pod::2::DocBook because Nandus version was buried in the CPAN archive as an
       "UNAUTHORIZED RELEASE".
