DESCRIPTION

This program uses Pod::Markdown to convert POD into Markdown sources.

UTF-8 is the default output encoding if no encoding options are specified (see "OPTIONS").

It accepts two optional arguments:

  • input pod file (defaults to "STDIN")
  • output markdown file (defaults to "STDOUT")

OPTIONS

A list of characters to encode as HTML entities. Pass a regexp character class, or 1 to mean control chars, high-bit chars, and "<&>"'".

See "html_encode_chars" in Pod::Markdown for more information.

Use the same "=encoding" as the input pod for the output file.
Alters the perldoc urls that are created from "L<>" codes when the module is a "local" module ("Local::*" or "Foo_Corp::*" (see perlmodlib)).

The default is to use "perldoc_url_prefix".

See "local_module_url_prefix" in Pod::Markdown for more information.

Alters the man page urls that are created from "L<>" codes.

The default is "http://man.he.net/man".

See "man_url_prefix" in Pod::Markdown for more information.

Alters the perldoc urls that are created from "L<>" codes. Can be:

The default is "metacpan".

See "perldoc_url_prefix" in Pod::Markdown for more information.

Specify the encoding for the output file.
Alias for "-e UTF-8".

SEE ALSO

This program is strongly based on "pod2mdwn" from Module::Build::IkiWiki.
