It uses them to generate formatted \s-1ASCII\s0 text from \s-1POD\s0 source. It can optionally use either termcap sequences or \s-1ANSI\s0 color escape sequences to format the text. .PP \&\fIinput\fR is the file to read for \s-1POD\s0 source (the \s-1POD\s0 can be embedded in code). If \fIinput\fR isn't given, it defaults to \f(CW\*(C`STDIN\*(C'\fR. \fIoutput\fR, if given, is the file to which to write the formatted output. If \fIoutput\fR isn't given, the formatted output is written to \f(CW\*(C`STDOUT\*(C'\fR. Several \s-1POD\s0 files can be processed in the same \fBpod2text\fR invocation (saving module load and compile times) by providing multiple pairs of \fIinput\fR and \&\fIoutput\fR files on the command line. .SH "OPTIONS" .IX Header "OPTIONS" .IP "\fB\-a\fR, \fB\-\-alt\fR" 4 .IX Item "-a, --alt" Use an alternate output format that, among other things, uses a different heading style and marks \f(CW\*(C`=item\*(C'\fR entries with a colon in the left margin. .IP "\fB\-\-code\fR" 4 .IX Item "--code" Include any non-POD text from the input file in the output as well. Useful for viewing code documented with \s-1POD\s0 blocks with the \s-1POD\s0 rendered and the code left intact. .IP "\fB\-c\fR, \fB\-\-color\fR" 4 .IX Item "-c, --color" Format the output with \s-1ANSI\s0 color escape sequences. Using this option requires that Term::ANSIColor be installed on your system. .IP "\fB\-i\fR \fIindent\fR, \fB\-\-indent=\fR\fIindent\fR" 4 .IX Item "-i indent, --indent=indent" Set the number of spaces to indent regular text, and the default indentation for \f(CW\*(C`=over\*(C'\fR blocks. Defaults to 4 spaces if this option isn't given. .IP "\fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR" 4 .IX Item "-h, --help" Print out usage information and exit. .IP "\fB\-l\fR, \fB\-\-loose\fR" 4 .IX Item "-l, --loose" Print a blank line after a \f(CW\*(C`=head1\*(C'\fR heading. Normally, no blank line is printed after \f(CW\*(C`=head1\*(C'\fR, although one is still printed after \f(CW\*(C`=head2\*(C'\fR, because this is the expected formatting for manual pages; if you're formatting arbitrary text documents, using this option is recommended. .IP "\fB\-m\fR \fIwidth\fR, \fB\-\-left\-margin\fR=\fIwidth\fR, \fB\-\-margin\fR=\fIwidth\fR" 4 .IX Item "-m width, --left-margin=width, --margin=width" The width of the left margin in spaces. Defaults to 0. This is the margin for all text, including headings, not the amount by which regular text is indented; for the latter, see \fB\-i\fR option. .IP "\fB\-o\fR, \fB\-\-overstrike\fR" 4 .IX Item "-o, --overstrike" Format the output with overstrike printing. Bold text is rendered as character, backspace, character. Italics and file names are rendered as underscore, backspace, character. Many pagers, such as \fBless\fR, know how to convert this to bold or underlined text. .IP "\fB\-q\fR \fIquotes\fR, \fB\-\-quotes\fR=\fIquotes\fR" 4 .IX Item "-q quotes, --quotes=quotes" Sets the quote marks used to surround C<> text to \fIquotes\fR. If \&\fIquotes\fR is a single character, it is used as both the left and right quote; if \fIquotes\fR is two characters, the first character is used as the left quote and the second as the right quoted; and if \fIquotes\fR is four characters, the first two are used as the left quote and the second two as the right quote. .Sp \&\fIquotes\fR may also be set to the special value \f(CW\*(C`none\*(C'\fR, in which case no quote marks are added around C<> text. .IP "\fB\-s\fR, \fB\-\-sentence\fR" 4 .IX Item "-s, --sentence" Assume each sentence ends with two spaces and try to preserve that spacing. Without this option, all consecutive whitespace in non-verbatim paragraphs is compressed into a single space. .IP "\fB\-\-stderr\fR" 4 .IX Item "--stderr" By default, \fBpod2text\fR puts any errors detected in the \s-1POD\s0 input in a \s-1POD\s0 \&\s-1ERRORS\s0 section in the output manual page. If \fB\-\-stderr\fR is given, errors are sent to standard error instead and the \s-1POD\s0 \s-1ERRORS\s0 section is suppressed. .IP "\fB\-t\fR, \fB\-\-termcap\fR" 4 .IX Item "-t, --termcap" Try to determine the width of the screen and the bold and underline sequences for the terminal from termcap, and use that information in formatting the output. Output will be wrapped at two columns less than the width of your terminal device. Using this option requires that your system have a termcap file somewhere where Term::Cap can find it and requires that your system support termios. With this option, the output of \fBpod2text\fR will contain terminal control sequences for your current terminal type. .IP "\fB\-u\fR, \fB\-\-utf8\fR" 4 .IX Item "-u, --utf8" By default, \fBpod2text\fR tries to use the same output encoding as its input encoding (to be backward-compatible with older versions). This option says to instead force the output encoding to \s-1UTF\-8\s0. .Sp Be aware that, when using this option, the input encoding of your \s-1POD\s0 source must be properly declared unless it is US-ASCII or Latin\-1. \s-1POD\s0 input without an \f(CW\*(C`=encoding\*(C'\fR command will be assumed to be in Latin\-1, and if it's actually in \s-1UTF\-8\s0, the output will be double-encoded. See \&\fIperlpod\fR\|(1) for more information on the \f(CW\*(C`=encoding\*(C'\fR command. .IP "\fB\-w\fR, \fB\-\-width=\fR\fIwidth\fR, \fB\-\fR\fIwidth\fR" 4 .IX Item "-w, --width=width, -width" The column at which to wrap text on the right-hand side. Defaults to 76, unless \fB\-t\fR is given, in which case it's two columns less than the width of your terminal device. .SH "DIAGNOSTICS" .IX Header "DIAGNOSTICS" If \fBpod2text\fR fails with errors, see Pod::Text and Pod::Simple for information about what those errors might mean. Internally, it can also produce the following diagnostics: .IP "\-c (\-\-color) requires Term::ANSIColor be installed" 4 .IX Item "-c (--color) requires Term::ANSIColor be installed" (F) \fB\-c\fR or \fB\-\-color\fR were given, but Term::ANSIColor could not be loaded. .ie n .IP "Unknown option: %s" 4 .el .IP "Unknown option: \f(CW%s\fR" 4 .IX Item "Unknown option: %s" (F) An unknown command line option was given. .PP In addition, other Getopt::Long error messages may result from invalid command-line options. .SH "ENVIRONMENT" .IX Header "ENVIRONMENT" .IP "\s-1COLUMNS\s0" 4 .IX Item "COLUMNS" If \fB\-t\fR is given, \fBpod2text\fR will take the current width of your screen from this environment variable, if available. It overrides terminal width information in \s-1TERMCAP\s0. .IP "\s-1TERMCAP\s0" 4 .IX Item "TERMCAP" If \fB\-t\fR is given, \fBpod2text\fR will use the contents of this environment variable if available to determine the correct formatting sequences for your current terminal device. .SH "SEE ALSO" .IX Header "SEE ALSO" Pod::Text, Pod::Text::Color, Pod::Text::Overstrike, Pod::Text::Termcap, Pod::Simple, \fIperlpod\fR\|(1) .PP The current version of this script is always available from its web site at <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/software/podlators/>.
