# NAME

pod2html - convert .pod files to .html files

# SYNOPSIS

        pod2html --help --htmldir=<name> --htmlroot=<URL>             --infile=<name> --outfile=<name>             --podpath=<name>:...:<name> --podroot=<name>             --cachedir=<name> --flush --recurse --norecurse             --quiet --noquiet --verbose --noverbose             --index --noindex --backlink --nobacklink             --header --noheader --poderrors --nopoderrors             --css=<URL> --title=<name>

# DESCRIPTION

Converts files from pod format (see perlpod) to HTML format.

# ARGUMENTS

pod2html takes the following arguments:

- help

        --help

  Displays the usage message.

- htmldir

        --htmldir=name

  Sets the directory to which all cross references in the resulting HTML file will be relative. Not passing this causes all links to be absolute since this is the value that tells Pod::Html the root of the documentation tree.

  Do not use this and --htmlroot in the same call to pod2html; they are mutually exclusive.

- htmlroot

        --htmlroot=URL

  Sets the base URL for the HTML files. When cross-references are made, the HTML root is prepended to the URL.

  Do not use this if relative links are desired: use --htmldir instead.

  Do not pass both this and --htmldir to pod2html; they are mutually exclusive.

- infile

        --infile=name

  Specify the pod file to convert. Input is taken from STDIN if no infile is specified.

- outfile

        --outfile=name

  Specify the HTML file to create. Output goes to STDOUT if no outfile is specified.

- podroot

        --podroot=name

  Specify the base directory for finding library pods.

- podpath

        --podpath=name:...:name

  Specify which subdirectories of the podroot contain pod files whose HTML converted forms can be linked-to in cross-references.

- cachedir

        --cachedir=name

  Specify which directory is used for storing cache. Default directory is the current working directory.

- flush

        --flush

  Flush the cache.

- backlink

        --backlink

  Turn =head1 directives into links pointing to the top of the HTML file.

- nobacklink

        --nobacklink

  Do not turn =head1 directives into links pointing to the top of the HTML file (default behaviour).

- header

        --header

  Create header and footer blocks containing the text of the "NAME" section.

- noheader

        --noheader

  Do not create header and footer blocks containing the text of the "NAME" section (default behaviour).

- poderrors

        --poderrors

  Include a "POD ERRORS" section in the outfile if there were any POD errors in the infile (default behaviour).

- nopoderrors

        --nopoderrors

  Do not include a "POD ERRORS" section in the outfile if there were any POD errors in the infile.

- index

        --index

  Generate an index at the top of the HTML file (default behaviour).

- noindex

        --noindex

  Do not generate an index at the top of the HTML file.

- recurse

        --recurse

  Recurse into subdirectories specified in podpath (default behaviour).

- norecurse

        --norecurse

  Do not recurse into subdirectories specified in podpath.

- css

        --css=URL

  Specify the URL of cascading style sheet to link from resulting HTML file. Default is none style sheet.

- title

        --title=title

  Specify the title of the resulting HTML file.

- quiet

        --quiet

  Don't display mostly harmless warning messages.

- noquiet

        --noquiet

  Display mostly harmless warning messages (default behaviour). But this is not the same as "verbose" mode.

- verbose

        --verbose

  Display progress messages.

- noverbose

        --noverbose

  Do not display progress messages (default behaviour).
