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

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).

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).
