NAME

       Pod::Text::Termcap - Convert POD data to ASCII text with format escapes

SYNOPSIS

	   use Pod::Text::Termcap;
	   my $parser = Pod::Text::Termcap->new (sentence => 0, width => 78);

	   # Read POD from STDIN and write to STDOUT.
	   $parser->parse_from_filehandle;

	   # Read POD from file.pod and write to file.txt.
	   $parser->parse_from_file ('file.pod', 'file.txt');

DESCRIPTION

       Pod::Text::Termcap is a simple subclass of Pod::Text that highlights output text using the correct termcap escape sequences for the current
       terminal.  Apart from the format codes, it in all ways functions like Pod::Text.  See Pod::Text for details and available options.

NOTES

       This module uses Term::Cap to retrieve the formatting escape sequences for the current terminal, and falls back on the ECMA-48 (the same in
       this regard as ANSI X3.64 and ISO 6429, the escape codes also used by DEC VT100 terminals) if the bold, underline, and reset codes aren't
       set in the termcap information.

       part of the Perl core distribution as of 5.6.0.
