c9abbd5d 9# This module is intended to be a replacement for the pod2man script
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
13# to subclass.

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