1005Pod::Man - Convert POD data to formatted *roff input
1006
1007=head1 SYNOPSIS
1008
1009 use Pod::Man;
1010 my $parser = Pod::Man->new (release => $VERSION, section => 8);
1011
1012 # Read POD from STDIN and write to STDOUT.
1013 $parser->parse_from_filehandle;
1014
1015 # Read POD from file.pod and write to file.1.
1016 $parser->parse_from_file ('file.pod', 'file.1');
1017
1018=head1 DESCRIPTION
1019
1020Pod::Man is a module to convert documentation in the POD format (the
1021preferred language for documenting Perl) into *roff input using the man
1022macro set. The resulting *roff code is suitable for display on a terminal
1023using nroff(1), normally via man(1), or printing using troff(1). It is
9e107c59 1024conventionally invoked using the driver script B<pod2man>, but it can also
9741dab0 1025be used directly.
1026
1027As a derived class from Pod::Parser, Pod::Man supports the same methods and
1028interfaces. See L<Pod::Parser> for all the details; briefly, one creates a
1029new parser with C<Pod::Man-E<gt>new()> and then calls either
1030parse_from_filehandle() or parse_from_file().
1031
1032new() can take options, in the form of key/value pairs that control the
1033behavior of the parser. See below for details.
1034
1035If no options are given, Pod::Man uses the name of the input file with any
1036trailing C<.pod>, C<.pm>, or C<.pl> stripped as the man page title, to
1037section 1 unless the file ended in C<.pm> in which case it defaults to
1038section 3, to a centered title of "User Contributed Perl Documentation", to
1039a centered footer of the Perl version it is run with, and to a left-hand
1040footer of the modification date of its input (or the current date if given
1041STDIN for input).
1042
1043Pod::Man assumes that your *roff formatters have a fixed-width font named
1044CW. If yours is called something else (like CR), use the C<fixed> option to
1045specify it. This generally only matters for troff output for printing.
1046Similarly, you can set the fonts used for bold, italic, and bold italic
1047fixed-width output.
1048
1049Besides the obvious pod conversions, Pod::Man also takes care of formatting
1050func(), func(n), and simple variable references like $foo or @bar so you
1051don't have to use code escapes for them; complex expressions like
1052C<$fred{'stuff'}> will still need to be escaped, though. It also translates
1053dashes that aren't used as hyphens into en dashes, makes long dashes--like
1054this--into proper em dashes, fixes "paired quotes," makes C++ and PI look
1055right, puts a little space between double underbars, makes ALLCAPS a teeny
1056bit smaller in troff(1), and escapes stuff that *roff treats as special so
1057that you don't have to.
1058
1059The recognized options to new() are as follows. All options take a single
1060argument.
1061
1062=over 4
1063
1064=item center
1065
1066Sets the centered page header to use instead of "User Contributed Perl
1067Documentation".
1068
1069=item date
1070
1071Sets the left-hand footer. By default, the modification date of the input
1072file will be used, or the current date if stat() can't find that file (the
1073case if the input is from STDIN), and the date will be formatted as
1074YYYY-MM-DD.
1075
1076=item fixed
1077
1078The fixed-width font to use for vertabim text and code. Defaults to CW.
1079Some systems may want CR instead. Only matters for troff(1) output.
1080
1081=item fixedbold
1082
1083Bold version of the fixed-width font. Defaults to CB. Only matters for
1084troff(1) output.
1085
1086=item fixeditalic
1087
1088Italic version of the fixed-width font (actually, something of a misnomer,
1089since most fixed-width fonts only have an oblique version, not an italic
1090version). Defaults to CI. Only matters for troff(1) output.
1091
1092=item fixedbolditalic
1093
1094Bold italic (probably actually oblique) version of the fixed-width font.
1095Pod::Man doesn't assume you have this, and defaults to CB. Some systems
1096(such as Solaris) have this font available as CX. Only matters for troff(1)
1097output.
1098
1099=item release
1100
1101Set the centered footer. By default, this is the version of Perl you run
1102Pod::Man under. Note that some system an macro sets assume that the
1103centered footer will be a modification date and will prepend something like
1104"Last modified: "; if this is the case, you may want to set C<release> to
1105the last modified date and C<date> to the version number.
1106
1107=item section
1108
1109Set the section for the C<.TH> macro. The standard section numbering
1110convention is to use 1 for user commands, 2 for system calls, 3 for
1111functions, 4 for devices, 5 for file formats, 6 for games, 7 for
1112miscellaneous information, and 8 for administrator commands. There is a lot
1113of variation here, however; some systems (like Solaris) use 4 for file
1114formats, 5 for miscellaneous information, and 7 for devices. Still others
1115use 1m instead of 8, or some mix of both. About the only section numbers
1116that are reliably consistent are 1, 2, and 3.
1117
1118By default, section 1 will be used unless the file ends in .pm in which case
1119section 3 will be selected.
1120
1121=back
1122
1123The standard Pod::Parser method parse_from_filehandle() takes up to two
1124arguments, the first being the file handle to read POD from and the second
1125being the file handle to write the formatted output to. The first defaults
1126to STDIN if not given, and the second defaults to STDOUT. The method
1127parse_from_file() is almost identical, except that its two arguments are the
1128input and output disk files instead. See L<Pod::Parser> for the specific
1129details.
1130
1131=head1 DIAGNOSTICS
1132
1133=over 4
1134
1135=item roff font should be 1 or 2 chars, not `%s'
1136
1137(F) You specified a *roff font (using C<fixed>, C<fixedbold>, etc.) that
1138wasn't either one or two characters. Pod::Man doesn't support *roff fonts
1139longer than two characters, although some *roff extensions do (the canonical
1140versions of nroff(1) and troff(1) don't either).
1141
1142=item Invalid link %s
1143
1144(W) The POD source contained a C<LE<lt>E<gt>> sequence that Pod::Man was
1145unable to parse. You should never see this error message; it probably
1146indicates a bug in Pod::Man.
1147
1148=item Unknown escape EE<lt>%sE<gt>
1149
1150(W) The POD source contained an C<EE<lt>E<gt>> escape that Pod::Man didn't
1151know about. C<EE<lt>%sE<gt>> was printed verbatim in the output.
1152
1153=item Unknown sequence %s
1154
1155(W) The POD source contained a non-standard interior sequence (something of
1156the form C<XE<lt>E<gt>>) that Pod::Man didn't know about. It was ignored.
1157
1158=item Unmatched =back
1159
1160(W) Pod::Man encountered a C<=back> command that didn't correspond to an
1161C<=over> command.
1162
1163=back
1164
1165=head1 BUGS
1166
1167The lint-like features and strict POD format checking done by B<pod2man> are
1168not yet implemented and should be, along with the corresponding C<lax>
1169option.
1170
1171The NAME section should be recognized specially and index entries emitted
1172for everything in that section. This would have to be deferred until the
1173next section, since extraneous things in NAME tends to confuse various man
1174page processors.
1175
1176The handling of hyphens, en dashes, and em dashes is somewhat fragile, and
1177one may get the wrong one under some circumstances. This should only matter
1178for troff(1) output.
1179
1180When and whether to use small caps is somewhat tricky, and Pod::Man doesn't
1181necessarily get it right.
1182
1183Pod::Man doesn't handle font names longer than two characters. Neither do
1184most troff(1) implementations, but GNU troff does as an extension. It would
1185be nice to support as an option for those who want to use it.
1186
1187The preamble added to each output file is rather verbose, and most of it is
1188only necessary in the presence of EE<lt>E<gt> escapes for non-ASCII
1189characters. It would ideally be nice if all of those definitions were only
1190output if needed, perhaps on the fly as the characters are used.
1191
1192Some of the automagic applied to file names assumes Unix directory
1193separators.
1194
1195Pod::Man is excessively slow.
