10 | # distributed with versions of Perl prior to 5.6, and attempts to match its |
11 | # output except for some specific circumstances where other decisions seemed |
12 | # to produce better output. It uses Pod::Parser and is designed to be easy |

1010 | =head1 NAME |
1011 | |
1012 | Pod::Man - Convert POD data to formatted *roff input |
1013 | |
1014 | =head1 SYNOPSIS |
1015 | |
1016 | use Pod::Man; |
1017 | my $parser = Pod::Man->new (release => $VERSION, section => 8); |
1018 | |
1019 | # Read POD from STDIN and write to STDOUT. |
1020 | $parser->parse_from_filehandle; |
1021 | |
1022 | # Read POD from file.pod and write to file.1. |
1023 | $parser->parse_from_file ('file.pod', 'file.1'); |
1024 | |
1025 | =head1 DESCRIPTION |
1026 | |
1027 | Pod::Man is a module to convert documentation in the POD format (the |
1028 | preferred language for documenting Perl) into *roff input using the man |
1029 | macro set. The resulting *roff code is suitable for display on a terminal |
1030 | using nroff(1), normally via man(1), or printing using troff(1). It is |
9e107c59 |
1031 | conventionally invoked using the driver script B<pod2man>, but it can also |
9741dab0 |
1032 | be used directly. |
1033 | |
1034 | As a derived class from Pod::Parser, Pod::Man supports the same methods and |
1035 | interfaces. See L<Pod::Parser> for all the details; briefly, one creates a |
1036 | new parser with C<Pod::Man-E<gt>new()> and then calls either |
1037 | parse_from_filehandle() or parse_from_file(). |
1038 | |
1039 | new() can take options, in the form of key/value pairs that control the |
1040 | behavior of the parser. See below for details. |
1041 | |
1042 | If no options are given, Pod::Man uses the name of the input file with any |
1043 | trailing C<.pod>, C<.pm>, or C<.pl> stripped as the man page title, to |
1044 | section 1 unless the file ended in C<.pm> in which case it defaults to |
1045 | section 3, to a centered title of "User Contributed Perl Documentation", to |
1046 | a centered footer of the Perl version it is run with, and to a left-hand |
1047 | footer of the modification date of its input (or the current date if given |
1048 | STDIN for input). |
1049 | |
1050 | Pod::Man assumes that your *roff formatters have a fixed-width font named |
1051 | CW. If yours is called something else (like CR), use the C<fixed> option to |
1052 | specify it. This generally only matters for troff output for printing. |
1053 | Similarly, you can set the fonts used for bold, italic, and bold italic |
1054 | fixed-width output. |
1055 | |
1056 | Besides the obvious pod conversions, Pod::Man also takes care of formatting |
1057 | func(), func(n), and simple variable references like $foo or @bar so you |
1058 | don't have to use code escapes for them; complex expressions like |
1059 | C<$fred{'stuff'}> will still need to be escaped, though. It also translates |
1060 | dashes that aren't used as hyphens into en dashes, makes long dashes--like |
1061 | this--into proper em dashes, fixes "paired quotes," makes C++ and PI look |
1062 | right, puts a little space between double underbars, makes ALLCAPS a teeny |
1063 | bit smaller in troff(1), and escapes stuff that *roff treats as special so |
1064 | that you don't have to. |
1065 | |
1066 | The recognized options to new() are as follows. All options take a single |
1067 | argument. |
1068 | |
1069 | =over 4 |
1070 | |
1071 | =item center |
1072 | |
1073 | Sets the centered page header to use instead of "User Contributed Perl |
1074 | Documentation". |
1075 | |
1076 | =item date |
1077 | |
1078 | Sets the left-hand footer. By default, the modification date of the input |
1079 | file will be used, or the current date if stat() can't find that file (the |
1080 | case if the input is from STDIN), and the date will be formatted as |
1081 | YYYY-MM-DD. |
1082 | |
1083 | =item fixed |
1084 | |
1085 | The fixed-width font to use for vertabim text and code. Defaults to CW. |
1086 | Some systems may want CR instead. Only matters for troff(1) output. |
1087 | |
1088 | =item fixedbold |
1089 | |
1090 | Bold version of the fixed-width font. Defaults to CB. Only matters for |
1091 | troff(1) output. |
1092 | |
1093 | =item fixeditalic |
1094 | |
1095 | Italic version of the fixed-width font (actually, something of a misnomer, |
1096 | since most fixed-width fonts only have an oblique version, not an italic |
1097 | version). Defaults to CI. Only matters for troff(1) output. |
1098 | |
1099 | =item fixedbolditalic |
1100 | |
1101 | Bold italic (probably actually oblique) version of the fixed-width font. |
1102 | Pod::Man doesn't assume you have this, and defaults to CB. Some systems |
1103 | (such as Solaris) have this font available as CX. Only matters for troff(1) |
1104 | output. |
1105 | |
1106 | =item release |
1107 | |
1108 | Set the centered footer. By default, this is the version of Perl you run |
1109 | Pod::Man under. Note that some system an macro sets assume that the |
1110 | centered footer will be a modification date and will prepend something like |
1111 | "Last modified: "; if this is the case, you may want to set C<release> to |
1112 | the last modified date and C<date> to the version number. |
1113 | |
1114 | =item section |
1115 | |
1116 | Set the section for the C<.TH> macro. The standard section numbering |
1117 | convention is to use 1 for user commands, 2 for system calls, 3 for |
1118 | functions, 4 for devices, 5 for file formats, 6 for games, 7 for |
1119 | miscellaneous information, and 8 for administrator commands. There is a lot |
1120 | of variation here, however; some systems (like Solaris) use 4 for file |
1121 | formats, 5 for miscellaneous information, and 7 for devices. Still others |
1122 | use 1m instead of 8, or some mix of both. About the only section numbers |
1123 | that are reliably consistent are 1, 2, and 3. |
1124 | |
1125 | By default, section 1 will be used unless the file ends in .pm in which case |
1126 | section 3 will be selected. |
1127 | |
1128 | =back |
1129 | |
1130 | The standard Pod::Parser method parse_from_filehandle() takes up to two |
1131 | arguments, the first being the file handle to read POD from and the second |
1132 | being the file handle to write the formatted output to. The first defaults |
1133 | to STDIN if not given, and the second defaults to STDOUT. The method |
1134 | parse_from_file() is almost identical, except that its two arguments are the |
1135 | input and output disk files instead. See L<Pod::Parser> for the specific |
1136 | details. |
1137 | |
1138 | =head1 DIAGNOSTICS |
1139 | |
1140 | =over 4 |
1141 | |
1142 | =item roff font should be 1 or 2 chars, not `%s' |
1143 | |
1144 | (F) You specified a *roff font (using C<fixed>, C<fixedbold>, etc.) that |
1145 | wasn't either one or two characters. Pod::Man doesn't support *roff fonts |
1146 | longer than two characters, although some *roff extensions do (the canonical |
1147 | versions of nroff(1) and troff(1) don't either). |
1148 | |
1149 | =item Invalid link %s |
1150 | |
1151 | (W) The POD source contained a C<LE<lt>E<gt>> sequence that Pod::Man was |
1152 | unable to parse. You should never see this error message; it probably |
1153 | indicates a bug in Pod::Man. |
1154 | |
1155 | =item Unknown escape EE<lt>%sE<gt> |
1156 | |
1157 | (W) The POD source contained an C<EE<lt>E<gt>> escape that Pod::Man didn't |
1158 | know about. C<EE<lt>%sE<gt>> was printed verbatim in the output. |
1159 | |
1160 | =item Unknown sequence %s |
1161 | |
1162 | (W) The POD source contained a non-standard interior sequence (something of |
1163 | the form C<XE<lt>E<gt>>) that Pod::Man didn't know about. It was ignored. |
1164 | |
1165 | =item Unmatched =back |
1166 | |
1167 | (W) Pod::Man encountered a C<=back> command that didn't correspond to an |
1168 | C<=over> command. |
1169 | |
1170 | =back |
1171 | |
1172 | =head1 BUGS |
1173 | |
1174 | The lint-like features and strict POD format checking done by B<pod2man> are |
1175 | not yet implemented and should be, along with the corresponding C<lax> |
1176 | option. |
1177 | |
1178 | The NAME section should be recognized specially and index entries emitted |
1179 | for everything in that section. This would have to be deferred until the |
1180 | next section, since extraneous things in NAME tends to confuse various man |
1181 | page processors. |
1182 | |
1183 | The handling of hyphens, en dashes, and em dashes is somewhat fragile, and |
1184 | one may get the wrong one under some circumstances. This should only matter |
1185 | for troff(1) output. |
1186 | |
1187 | When and whether to use small caps is somewhat tricky, and Pod::Man doesn't |
1188 | necessarily get it right. |
1189 | |
1190 | Pod::Man doesn't handle font names longer than two characters. Neither do |
1191 | most troff(1) implementations, but GNU troff does as an extension. It would |
1192 | be nice to support as an option for those who want to use it. |
1193 | |
1194 | The preamble added to each output file is rather verbose, and most of it is |
1195 | only necessary in the presence of EE<lt>E<gt> escapes for non-ASCII |
1196 | characters. It would ideally be nice if all of those definitions were only |
1197 | output if needed, perhaps on the fly as the characters are used. |
1198 | |
1199 | Some of the automagic applied to file names assumes Unix directory |
1200 | separators. |
1201 | |
1202 | Pod::Man is excessively slow. |
