NAME
    PPI::HTML - Generate syntax-hightlighted HTML for Perl using PPI

SYNOPSIS
      use PPI;
      use PPI::HTML;
  
      # Load your Perl file
      my $Document = PPI::Document->load( 'script.pl' );
  
      # Create a reusable syntax highlighter
      my $Highlight = PPI::HTML->new( line_numbers => 1 );
  
      # Spit out the HTML
      print $Highlight->html( $Document );

DESCRIPTION
    PPI::HTML converts Perl documents into syntax highlighted HTML pages.

HISTORY
    PPI::HTML is the successor to the now-redundant PPI::Format::HTML.

    While early on it was thought that the same formatting code might be
    able to be used for a variety of different types of things (ANSI and
    HTML for example) later developments with the here-doc code and the need
    for independantly written serializers meant that this idea had to be
    discarded.

    In addition, the old module only made use of the Tokenizer, and had a
    pretty shit API to boot.

  API Overview
    The new module is much cleaner. Simply create an object with the options
    you want, pass PPI::Document objects to the "html" method, and you get
    strings of HTML that you can do whatever you want with.

METHODS
  new %args
    The "new" constructor takes a simple set of key/value pairs to define
    the formatting options for the HTML.

    page
        Is the "page" option is enabled, the generator will wrap the
        generated HTML fragment in a basic but complete page.

    line_numbers
        At the present time, the only option available. If set to true, line
        numbers are added to the output.

    colors | colours
        For cases where you don't want to use an external stylesheet, you
        can provide "colors" as a hash reference where the keys are CSS
        classes (generally matching the token name) and the values are
        colours.

        This allows basic colouring without the need for a whole stylesheet.

    Returns a new PPI::HTML object

  html $Document
    The main method for the class, the "html" method takes a single
    PPI::Document object, and returns a string of HTML formatted based on
    the arguments given to the PPI::HTML constructor.

    Returns a string, or "undef" on error.
