PODTREE2HTML(1) User Contributed Perl Documentation PODTREE2HTML(1)NAMEpodtree2html - translate a POD to HTML
SYNOPSIS
"podtree2html" ["--base" url] ["--css" url] ["--"["no"]"toc"] ["--hr"
level] ["--bgcolor" #rrggbb] ["--text" #rrggbb] ["--variables"
values.pl] source dest [template] [variable=value ...]]
DESCRIPTION
"podtree2html" reads the POD in file source, translates it to HTML, and
writes it to file dest. dest is created world-readable.
If a template file is provided, then template will be filled in by the
"Text::Template" module and written to dest. Here is a minimal
template, showing all the variables that are set by "podtree2html".
<html>
<head>
<base href="{$base}">
<link href="{$css}" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<title>{$title}</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="{$bgcolor}" text="{$text}">
{$toc}
{$body}
</body>
</html>
If the "--variables" option is provided, then the file values.pl will
be executed with a "do" call before the template is filled in.
values.pl may contain arbitrary Perl code. The program fragments in
the template are evaulted in the "Pod::Tree::HTML" package. Any
variables that values.pl sets in this package will be available to the
template.
Additional scalar variables may be set on the command line with the
variable=value syntax. Do not prefix variable with a "$" sigil.
Variables set on the command line override variables set in values.pl.
OPTIONS
"--base" url
Translate "L<>" sequences into HTML links relative to url.
"--css" url
Specifies a Cascanding Style Sheet for the generated HTML page.
Here are example rules for all the different HTML elements that may
appear in a POD.
