POM2(1p)						User Contributed Perl Documentation						  POM2(1p)

NAME

       pom2 - convert POD to Text, HTML, etc., with Pod::POM

SYNOPSIS

	   pom2 text MyFile.pm > MyFile.txt
	   pom2 html MyFile.pm > MyFile.html
	   pom2 pod  MyFile.pm > Myfile.pod

	   pom2 format [options] MyFile.pm > Myfile.xyz

DESCRIPTION

       This script uses "Pod::POM" to convert a Pod document into text, HTML, back into Pod (e.g. to normalise a document to fix any markup
       errors), or any other format for which you have a view module.

       If the viewer is not one of the viewers bundled with "Pod::POM", the script searches for an installed "Pod::POM::View" module that matches
       the specified format.  For example if you have "Pod::POM::View::DocBook" installed then you could say:

	   pod2 docbook MyFile.pm > MyFile.xml

       If any options other than "--help" are specified then they are passed to the constructor method of the view class.  For example:

	   pod2 docbook --root=chapter --titlecasing MyFile.pm > MyFile.xml

       would convert the Pod document to a DocBook chapter document with the titlecasing option enabled.  Note that any string prefixed by ""--""
       is taken as a valid option and passed to the constructor; if no value is specified then a value of 1 is passed in.
