.SH "NAME"
Pod::Html \- module to convert pod files to HTML
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
.Vb 2
\&    use Pod::Html;
\&    pod2html([options]);
.Ve
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Converts files from pod format (see perlpod) to \s-1HTML\s0 format.  It
can automatically generate indexes and cross-references, and it keeps
a cache of things it knows how to cross-reference.
.SH "FUNCTIONS"
.IX Header "FUNCTIONS"
.SS "pod2html"
.IX Subsection "pod2html"
.Vb 8
\&    pod2html("pod2html",
\&             "\-\-podpath=lib:ext:pod:vms",
\&             "\-\-podroot=/usr/src/perl",

\&             "\-\-outfile=/perl/nmanual/foo.html");
.Ve
.PP
pod2html takes the following arguments:
.IP "backlink" 4
.IX Item "backlink"
.Vb 1
\&    \-\-backlink="Back to Top"
.Ve
.Sp
Adds \*(L"Back to Top\*(R" links in front of every \f(CW\*(C`head1\*(C'\fR heading (except for
the first).  By default, no backlinks are generated.
.IP "cachedir" 4
.IX Item "cachedir"
.Vb 1
\&    \-\-cachedir=name
.Ve
.Sp
Creates the item and directory caches in the given directory.
.IP "css" 4
.IX Item "css"
.Vb 1
\&    \-\-css=stylesheet
.Ve
.Sp
Specify the \s-1URL\s0 of a cascading style sheet.  Also disables all \s-1HTML/CSS\s0
\&\f(CW\*(C`style\*(C'\fR attributes that are output by default (to avoid conflicts).
.IP "flush" 4
.IX Item "flush"
.Vb 1
\&    \-\-flush
.Ve
.Sp
Flushes the item and directory caches.
.IP "header" 4
.IX Item "header"
.Vb 2
\&    \-\-header
\&    \-\-noheader
.Ve
.Sp
Creates header and footer blocks containing the text of the \f(CW\*(C`NAME\*(C'\fR
section.  By default, no headers are generated.
.IP "help" 4
.IX Item "help"
.Vb 1
\&    \-\-help
.Ve
.Sp
Displays the usage message.
.IP "hiddendirs" 4
.IX Item "hiddendirs"
.Vb 2
\&    \-\-hiddendirs
\&    \-\-nohiddendirs
.Ve
.Sp
Include hidden directories in the search for \s-1POD\s0's in podpath if recurse
is set.
The default is not to traverse any directory whose name begins with \f(CW\*(C`.\*(C'\fR.
See \*(L"podpath\*(R" and \*(L"recurse\*(R".
.Sp
[This option is for backward compatibility only.
It's hard to imagine that one would usefully create a module with a
name component beginning with \f(CW\*(C`.\*(C'\fR.]
.IP "htmldir" 4
.IX Item "htmldir"
.Vb 1
\&    \-\-htmldir=name
.Ve
.Sp
Sets the directory in which the resulting \s-1HTML\s0 file is placed.  This
is used to generate relative links to other files. Not passing this
causes all links to be absolute, since this is the value that tells
Pod::Html the root of the documentation tree.
.IP "htmlroot" 4
.IX Item "htmlroot"
.Vb 1
\&    \-\-htmlroot=name
.Ve
.Sp
Sets the base \s-1URL\s0 for the \s-1HTML\s0 files.  When cross-references are made,
the \s-1HTML\s0 root is prepended to the \s-1URL\s0.
.IP "index" 4
.IX Item "index"
.Vb 2
\&    \-\-index
\&    \-\-noindex
.Ve
.Sp
Generate an index at the top of the \s-1HTML\s0 file.  This is the default
behaviour.
.IP "infile" 4
.IX Item "infile"
.Vb 1
\&    \-\-infile=name
.Ve
.Sp
Specify the pod file to convert.  Input is taken from \s-1STDIN\s0 if no
infile is specified.
.IP "libpods" 4
.IX Item "libpods"
.Vb 1
\&    \-\-libpods=name:...:name
.Ve
.Sp
List of page names (eg, \*(L"perlfunc\*(R") which contain linkable \f(CW\*(C`=item\*(C'\fRs.
.IP "netscape" 4
.IX Item "netscape"
.Vb 2
\&    \-\-netscape
\&    \-\-nonetscape
.Ve
.Sp
\&\fBDeprecated\fR, has no effect. For backwards compatibility only.
.IP "outfile" 4
.IX Item "outfile"
.Vb 1
\&    \-\-outfile=name
.Ve
.Sp
Specify the \s-1HTML\s0 file to create.  Output goes to \s-1STDOUT\s0 if no outfile
is specified.
.IP "podpath" 4
.IX Item "podpath"
.Vb 1
\&    \-\-podpath=name:...:name
.Ve
.Sp
Specify which subdirectories of the podroot contain pod files whose
\&\s-1HTML\s0 converted forms can be linked to in cross references.
.IP "podroot" 4
.IX Item "podroot"
.Vb 1
\&    \-\-podroot=name
.Ve
.Sp
Specify the base directory for finding library pods.
.IP "quiet" 4
.IX Item "quiet"
.Vb 2
\&    \-\-quiet
\&    \-\-noquiet
.Ve
.Sp
Don't display \fImostly harmless\fR warning messages.  These messages
will be displayed by default.  But this is not the same as \f(CW\*(C`verbose\*(C'\fR
mode.
.IP "recurse" 4
.IX Item "recurse"
.Vb 2
\&    \-\-recurse
\&    \-\-norecurse
.Ve
.Sp
Recurse into subdirectories specified in podpath (default behaviour).
.IP "title" 4
.IX Item "title"
.Vb 1
\&    \-\-title=title
.Ve
.Sp
Specify the title of the resulting \s-1HTML\s0 file.
.IP "verbose" 4
.IX Item "verbose"
.Vb 2
\&    \-\-verbose
\&    \-\-noverbose
.Ve
.Sp
Display progress messages.  By default, they won't be displayed.
.SS "htmlify"
.IX Subsection "htmlify"
.Vb 1
\&    htmlify($heading);
.Ve
.PP
Converts a pod section specification to a suitable section specification
for \s-1HTML\s0. Note that we keep spaces and special characters except 
\&\f(CW\*(C`", ?\*(C'\fR (Netscape problem) and the hyphen (writer's problem...).
.SS "anchorify"
.IX Subsection "anchorify"
.Vb 1
\&    anchorify(@heading);
.Ve
.PP
Similar to \f(CW\*(C`htmlify()\*(C'\fR, but turns non-alphanumerics into underscores.  Note
that \f(CW\*(C`anchorify()\*(C'\fR is not exported by default.
.SH "ENVIRONMENT"
.IX Header "ENVIRONMENT"
Uses \f(CW$Config{pod2html}\fR to setup default options.
.SH "AUTHOR"
.IX Header "AUTHOR"
