12# manual pages to manual pages that can be read by the man(1) command. It is
13# a replacement for the pod2man command distributed with versions of Perl
14# prior to 5.6.

1445Pod::Man - Convert POD data to formatted *roff input
1446
1447=head1 SYNOPSIS
1448
1449 use Pod::Man;
1450 my $parser = Pod::Man->new (release => $VERSION, section => 8);
1451
1452 # Read POD from STDIN and write to STDOUT.
b7ae008f 1453 $parser->parse_file (\*STDIN);
9741dab0 1454
1455 # Read POD from file.pod and write to file.1.
1456 $parser->parse_from_file ('file.pod', 'file.1');
1457
1458=head1 DESCRIPTION
1459
1460Pod::Man is a module to convert documentation in the POD format (the
1461preferred language for documenting Perl) into *roff input using the man
1462macro set. The resulting *roff code is suitable for display on a terminal
bf202ccd 1463using L<nroff(1)>, normally via L<man(1)>, or printing using L<troff(1)>.
1464It is conventionally invoked using the driver script B<pod2man>, but it can
1465also be used directly.
9741dab0 1466
b7ae008f 1467As a derived class from Pod::Simple, Pod::Man supports the same methods and
1468interfaces. See L<Pod::Simple> for all the details.
9741dab0 1469
1470new() can take options, in the form of key/value pairs that control the
1471behavior of the parser. See below for details.
1472
1473If no options are given, Pod::Man uses the name of the input file with any
1474trailing C<.pod>, C<.pm>, or C<.pl> stripped as the man page title, to
1475section 1 unless the file ended in C<.pm> in which case it defaults to
1476section 3, to a centered title of "User Contributed Perl Documentation", to
1477a centered footer of the Perl version it is run with, and to a left-hand
1478footer of the modification date of its input (or the current date if given
1479STDIN for input).
1480
1481Pod::Man assumes that your *roff formatters have a fixed-width font named
1482CW. If yours is called something else (like CR), use the C<fixed> option to
1483specify it. This generally only matters for troff output for printing.
1484Similarly, you can set the fonts used for bold, italic, and bold italic
1485fixed-width output.
1486
1487Besides the obvious pod conversions, Pod::Man also takes care of formatting
bf202ccd 1488func(), func(3), and simple variable references like $foo or @bar so you
9741dab0 1489don't have to use code escapes for them; complex expressions like
1490C<$fred{'stuff'}> will still need to be escaped, though. It also translates
1491dashes that aren't used as hyphens into en dashes, makes long dashes--like
b4558dc4 1492this--into proper em dashes, fixes "paired quotes," makes C++ look right,
1493puts a little space between double underbars, makes ALLCAPS a teeny bit
1494smaller in B<troff>, and escapes stuff that *roff treats as special so that
1495you don't have to.
9741dab0 1496
1497The recognized options to new() are as follows. All options take a single
1498argument.
1499
1500=over 4
1501
1502=item center
1503
1504Sets the centered page header to use instead of "User Contributed Perl
1505Documentation".
1506
1507=item date
1508
1509Sets the left-hand footer. By default, the modification date of the input
1510file will be used, or the current date if stat() can't find that file (the
1511case if the input is from STDIN), and the date will be formatted as
1512YYYY-MM-DD.
1513
1514=item fixed
1515
1516The fixed-width font to use for vertabim text and code. Defaults to CW.
bf202ccd 1517Some systems may want CR instead. Only matters for B<troff> output.
9741dab0 1518
1519=item fixedbold
1520
1521Bold version of the fixed-width font. Defaults to CB. Only matters for
bf202ccd 1522B<troff> output.
9741dab0 1523
1524=item fixeditalic
1525
1526Italic version of the fixed-width font (actually, something of a misnomer,
1527since most fixed-width fonts only have an oblique version, not an italic
bf202ccd 1528version). Defaults to CI. Only matters for B<troff> output.
9741dab0 1529
1530=item fixedbolditalic
1531
1532Bold italic (probably actually oblique) version of the fixed-width font.
1533Pod::Man doesn't assume you have this, and defaults to CB. Some systems
bf202ccd 1534(such as Solaris) have this font available as CX. Only matters for B<troff>
9741dab0 1535output.
1536
bf202ccd 1537=item name
1538
1539Set the name of the manual page. Without this option, the manual name is
1540set to the uppercased base name of the file being converted unless the
1541manual section is 3, in which case the path is parsed to see if it is a Perl
1542module path. If it is, a path like C<.../lib/Pod/Man.pm> is converted into
1543a name like C<Pod::Man>. This option, if given, overrides any automatic
1544determination of the name.
1545
ab1f1d91 1546=item quotes
1547
1548Sets the quote marks used to surround CE<lt>> text. If the value is a
1549single character, it is used as both the left and right quote; if it is two
1550characters, the first character is used as the left quote and the second as
1551the right quoted; and if it is four characters, the first two are used as
1552the left quote and the second two as the right quote.
1553
1554This may also be set to the special value C<none>, in which case no quote
1555marks are added around CE<lt>> text (but the font is still changed for troff
1556output).
1557
9741dab0 1558=item release
1559
1560Set the centered footer. By default, this is the version of Perl you run
bf202ccd 1561Pod::Man under. Note that some system an macro sets assume that the
9741dab0 1562centered footer will be a modification date and will prepend something like
1563"Last modified: "; if this is the case, you may want to set C<release> to
1564the last modified date and C<date> to the version number.
1565
1566=item section
1567
1568Set the section for the C<.TH> macro. The standard section numbering
1569convention is to use 1 for user commands, 2 for system calls, 3 for
1570functions, 4 for devices, 5 for file formats, 6 for games, 7 for
1571miscellaneous information, and 8 for administrator commands. There is a lot
1572of variation here, however; some systems (like Solaris) use 4 for file
1573formats, 5 for miscellaneous information, and 7 for devices. Still others
1574use 1m instead of 8, or some mix of both. About the only section numbers
1575that are reliably consistent are 1, 2, and 3.
1576
1577By default, section 1 will be used unless the file ends in .pm in which case
1578section 3 will be selected.
1579
55595e83 1580=item utf8
1581
1582By default, Pod::Man produces the most conservative possible *roff output
1583to try to ensure that it will work with as many different *roff
1584implementations as possible. Many *roff implementations cannot handle
1585non-ASCII characters, so this means all non-ASCII characters are converted
1586either to a *roff escape sequence that tries to create a properly accented
1587character (at least for troff output) or to C<X>.
1588
1589If this option is set, Pod::Man will instead output UTF-8. If your *roff
1590implementation can handle it, this is the best output format to use and
1591avoids corruption of documents containing non-ASCII characters. However,
1592be warned that *roff source with literal UTF-8 characters is not supported
1593by many implementations and may even result in segfaults and other bad
1594behavior.
1595
9741dab0 1596=back
1597
b7ae008f 1598The standard Pod::Simple method parse_file() takes one argument naming the
1599POD file to read from. By default, the output is sent to STDOUT, but this
1600can be changed with the output_fd() method.
1601
1602The standard Pod::Simple method parse_from_file() takes up to two
1603arguments, the first being the input file to read POD from and the second
1604being the file to write the formatted output to.
1605
1606You can also call parse_lines() to parse an array of lines or
1607parse_string_document() to parse a document already in memory. To put the
1608output into a string instead of a file handle, call the output_string()
1609method. See L<Pod::Simple> for the specific details.

1611=head1 DIAGNOSTICS
1612
1613=over 4
1614
ab1f1d91 1615=item roff font should be 1 or 2 chars, not "%s"
9741dab0 1616
1617(F) You specified a *roff font (using C<fixed>, C<fixedbold>, etc.) that
1618wasn't either one or two characters. Pod::Man doesn't support *roff fonts
1619longer than two characters, although some *roff extensions do (the canonical
bf202ccd 1620versions of B<nroff> and B<troff> don't either).
9741dab0 1621
ab1f1d91 1622=item Invalid quote specification "%s"
1623
1624(F) The quote specification given (the quotes option to the constructor) was
1625invalid. A quote specification must be one, two, or four characters long.
1626
9741dab0 1627=back
1628
1629=head1 BUGS
1630
b4558dc4 1631There is currently no way to turn off the guesswork that tries to format
1632unmarked text appropriately, and sometimes it isn't wanted (particularly
b7ae008f 1633when using POD to document something other than Perl). Most of the work
1634towards fixing this has now been done, however, and all that's still needed
1635is a user interface.
9741dab0 1636
1637The NAME section should be recognized specially and index entries emitted
1638for everything in that section. This would have to be deferred until the
1639next section, since extraneous things in NAME tends to confuse various man
b7ae008f 1640page processors. Currently, no index entries are emitted for anything in
1641NAME.
9741dab0 1642
9741dab0 1643Pod::Man doesn't handle font names longer than two characters. Neither do
bf202ccd 1644most B<troff> implementations, but GNU troff does as an extension. It would
9741dab0 1645be nice to support as an option for those who want to use it.
1646
b7ae008f 1647The preamble added to each output file is rather verbose, and most of it
1648is only necessary in the presence of non-ASCII characters. It would
1649ideally be nice if all of those definitions were only output if needed,
1650perhaps on the fly as the characters are used.
9741dab0 1651
9741dab0 1652Pod::Man is excessively slow.
1653
b4558dc4 1654=head1 CAVEATS
1655
1656The handling of hyphens and em dashes is somewhat fragile, and one may get
1657the wrong one under some circumstances. This should only matter for
1658B<troff> output.
1659
1660When and whether to use small caps is somewhat tricky, and Pod::Man doesn't
1661necessarily get it right.
1662
b7ae008f 1663Converting neutral double quotes to properly matched double quotes doesn't
1664work unless there are no formatting codes between the quote marks. This
1665only matters for troff output.
