PODTOHTML(1) User Contributed Perl Documentation PODTOHTML(1)

podtohtml - (DEPRECATED) convert POD documentation to HTML

        THIS IS A DEPRECATED PROGRAM. See Pod::Simple::HTML instead.
        
        podtohtml [-bhqvIS] [-i index] [-d outdirectory] [-s sfx] <pods or directories of pods...>

THIS IS A DEPRECATED PROGRAM.

"podtohtml" converts POD documentation to HTML. It is based on the generic Pod::Parser. It works by making two passes over the selected pods, the fisrt pass uses Pod::Links to pre-scan for L<> links and "=head1 NAME" sections, and then a second to build a tree of HTML::Elements for each POD and calling the "as_HTML" method on the resulting tree.

The Generated HTML uses relative links.

The following command line options affect the behaviour:
-b
Create broken links
-d outdirectory
The directory into which the HTML is written.
-q
Run as quietly as possible
-v
Verbose - print messages about files being processed.
-s suffix
Set the suffix for generated files. Default is '.html' for HTML files and '.ps' for PostScript files.
-i index
Build an index file in index.
-I
Search perl's @INC for pods. Heuristics implemented in Pod::Find attempt to restrict search to files related to the version of perl executing the script.
-S
Search directory that is specified in "Config" as install location of scripts for pods.
-p
Generate PostScript rather than HTML. This is done using HTML::FormatPS and font sizes etc. are not yet specifiable.
-D
Print Data::Dumper dump of generated tree rather than generating HTML (for debugging).

   podtohtml -I -S -d "/home/WWW/perl" -i "/home/WWW/perl/index.html"

That takes rather a long time (22 minutes on my 60MHz SPARCStation10).

   podtohtml -d "/home/WWW/Tk8" -i /home/WWW/TkIndex.html ~/Tk8/pod

THIS IS A DEPRECATED PROGRAM. THESE BUGS WILL NOT BE FIXED.
  • Active links are only built for pods processed in the same invocation.
  • Large documents are not split.
  • HTML::FormatPS's style does not suit Nick's taste.
  • The index file needs more structure.
