NAME

       pod2texi - convert Pod to Texinfo

SYNOPSIS

	 pod2texi [OPTION]... POD...

DESCRIPTION

       Translate Pod file(s) to Texinfo.  There are two basic modes of operation.  First, by default, each pod is translated to a standalone
       Texinfo manual.

       Second, if "--base-level" is set higher than 0, each pod is translated to a file suitable for @include, and one more file with all the
       @includes is generated, intended to be @included in turn within a hand-written top-level file.

OPTIONS

       --base-level=NUM|NAME
	   Sets the level of the "head1" commands.  It may be an integer or a Texinfo sectioning command (without the "@"): 1 corresponds to the
	   @chapter/@unnumbered level, 2 to the @section level, and so on.  The default is 0, meaning that "head1" commands are still output as
	   chapters, but the output is arranged as a standalone manual.

	   If the level is not 0, the pod file is rendered as a fragment of a Texinfo manual suitable for @include.  In this case, each pod file
	   has an additional sectioning command covering the entire file, one level above the "--base-level" value.  Therefore, to make each pod
	   file a chapter in a large manual, you should use "section" as the base level.

	   For an example of making Texinfo out of the Perl documentation itself, see "contrib/perldoc-all" in the Texinfo source distribution,
	   with output available at <http://www.gnu.org/software/perl/manual>.

       --debug=NUM
	   Set debugging level to NUM.

       --help
	   Display help and exit.

       --output=NAME
	   Name for the first manual, or the main manual if there is a main manual.  Default is to write to standard output.

       --no-section-nodes
	   Use anchors for sections instead of nodes.

       --no-fill-section-gaps
	   Do not fill sectioning gaps with empty @unnumbered files.  Ordinarily, it's good to keep the sectioning hierarchy intact.

       --preamble=STR
	   Insert STR as top boilerplate before includes.  The default is a minimal beginning for a Texinfo document, and sets @documentencoding
	   to "utf-8" (because the output is written that way).

       --subdir=NAME
	   If there is a main manual with include files (each corresponding to an input pod file), then those include files are put in directory
	   NAME.

       --unnumbered-sections
	   Use unnumbered sectioning commands (@unnumbered, ...) instead of the default numbered sectioning Texinfo @-commands (@chapter,
	   @section, ...).

       --top=TOP
	   Name of the @top element for the main manual.  May contain Texinfo code.

       --version
	   Display version information and exit.
