.SH SYNOPSIS
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
.Vb 1
\&    $ tidy_changelog Changelog
.Ve
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Takes a changelog file, parse it using CPAN::Changes and prints out
the resulting output.  If a file is not given, the program will see if
there is one file in the current directory beginning by 'change'
(case-insensitive) and, if so, assume it to be the changelog.
.SH ARGUMENTS
.IX Header "ARGUMENTS"
.SS \-\-next
.IX Subsection "--next"
If provided, assumes that there is a placeholder
header for an upcoming next release. The placeholder token
is given via \fI\-\-token\fR.
.SS \-\-token
.IX Subsection "--token"
Regular expression to use to detect the token for an upcoming
release if \fI\-\-next\fR is used. If not explicitly given, defaults
to \f(CW\*(C`\e{\e{\e$NEXT\e}\e}\*(C'\fR.
.SS \-\-headers
.IX Subsection "--headers"
If given, only print out the release header lines, without any of the
changes.
.SS \-\-reverse
.IX Subsection "--reverse"
Prints the releases in reverse order (from the oldest to latest).
.SS \-\-check
.IX Subsection "--check"
Only check if the changelog is formatted properly using the changes_file_ok
function of Test::CPAN::Changes.
.SS \-\-help
