# This module translates POD documentation into *roff markup using the man
# macro set, and is intended for converting POD documents written as Unix
# manual pages to manual pages that can be read by the man(1) command.  It is
# a replacement for the pod2man command distributed with versions of Perl
# prior to 5.6.
#
# Perl core hackers, please note that this module is also separately
# maintained outside of the Perl core as part of the podlators.  Please send
# me any patches at the address above in addition to sending them to the
# standard Perl mailing lists.

# will be passed in to the corresponding method for handling that type of
# object.  The exceptions are handlers for lists, which have opening tag
# handlers and closing tag handlers that will be called right away.

# When building up the *roff code, we don't use real *roff fonts.  Instead, we
# embed font codes of the form \f(<font>[SE] where <font> is one of B, I, or
# F, S stands for start, and E stands for end.  This method turns these into
# the right start and end codes.
#
# We add this level of complexity because the old pod2man didn't get code like
# B<someI<thing> else> right; after I<> it switched back to normal text rather
# than bold.  We take care of this by using variables that state whether bold,
# italic, or fixed are turned on as a combined pointer to our current font
# sequence, and set each to the number of current nestings of start tags for
# that font.
#
# \fP changes to the previous font, but only one previous font is kept.  We
# don't know what the outside level font is; normally it's R, but if we're
# inside a heading it could be something else.  So arrange things so that the
# outside font is always the "previous" font and end with \fP instead of \fR.

=head1 NAME

Pod::Man - Convert POD data to formatted *roff input

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Pod::Man;
    my $parser = Pod::Man->new (release => $VERSION, section => 8);

    # Read POD from STDIN and write to STDOUT.
    $parser->parse_file (\*STDIN);

    # Read POD from file.pod and write to file.1.
    $parser->parse_from_file ('file.pod', 'file.1');

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Pod::Man is a module to convert documentation in the POD format (the
preferred language for documenting Perl) into *roff input using the man
macro set.  The resulting *roff code is suitable for display on a terminal
using L<nroff(1)>, normally via L<man(1)>, or printing using L<troff(1)>.
It is conventionally invoked using the driver script B<pod2man>, but it can
also be used directly.

As a derived class from Pod::Simple, Pod::Man supports the same methods and
interfaces.  See L<Pod::Simple> for all the details.

new() can take options, in the form of key/value pairs that control the
behavior of the parser.  See below for details.

If no options are given, Pod::Man uses the name of the input file with any
trailing C<.pod>, C<.pm>, or C<.pl> stripped as the man page title, to
section 1 unless the file ended in C<.pm> in which case it defaults to
section 3, to a centered title of "User Contributed Perl Documentation", to
a centered footer of the Perl version it is run with, and to a left-hand
footer of the modification date of its input (or the current date if given
STDIN for input).

Pod::Man assumes that your *roff formatters have a fixed-width font named
CW.  If yours is called something else (like CR), use the C<fixed> option to
specify it.  This generally only matters for troff output for printing.
Similarly, you can set the fonts used for bold, italic, and bold italic
fixed-width output.

Besides the obvious pod conversions, Pod::Man also takes care of formatting
func(), func(3), and simple variable references like $foo or @bar so you
don't have to use code escapes for them; complex expressions like
C<$fred{'stuff'}> will still need to be escaped, though.  It also translates
dashes that aren't used as hyphens into en dashes, makes long dashes--like
this--into proper em dashes, fixes "paired quotes," makes C++ look right,
puts a little space between double underbars, makes ALLCAPS a teeny bit
smaller in B<troff>, and escapes stuff that *roff treats as special so that
you don't have to.

The recognized options to new() are as follows.  All options take a single
argument.

=over 4

=item center

Sets the centered page header to use instead of "User Contributed Perl
Documentation".

=item date

Sets the left-hand footer.  By default, the modification date of the input
file will be used, or the current date if stat() can't find that file (the
case if the input is from STDIN), and the date will be formatted as
YYYY-MM-DD.

=item fixed

The fixed-width font to use for vertabim text and code.  Defaults to CW.
Some systems may want CR instead.  Only matters for B<troff> output.

=item fixedbold

Bold version of the fixed-width font.  Defaults to CB.  Only matters for
B<troff> output.

=item fixeditalic

Italic version of the fixed-width font (actually, something of a misnomer,
since most fixed-width fonts only have an oblique version, not an italic
version).  Defaults to CI.  Only matters for B<troff> output.

=item fixedbolditalic

Bold italic (probably actually oblique) version of the fixed-width font.
Pod::Man doesn't assume you have this, and defaults to CB.  Some systems
(such as Solaris) have this font available as CX.  Only matters for B<troff>
output.

=item name

Set the name of the manual page.  Without this option, the manual name is
set to the uppercased base name of the file being converted unless the
manual section is 3, in which case the path is parsed to see if it is a Perl
module path.  If it is, a path like C<.../lib/Pod/Man.pm> is converted into
a name like C<Pod::Man>.  This option, if given, overrides any automatic
determination of the name.

=item quotes

Sets the quote marks used to surround CE<lt>> text.  If the value is a
single character, it is used as both the left and right quote; if it is two
characters, the first character is used as the left quote and the second as
the right quoted; and if it is four characters, the first two are used as
the left quote and the second two as the right quote.

This may also be set to the special value C<none>, in which case no quote
marks are added around CE<lt>> text (but the font is still changed for troff
output).

=item release

Set the centered footer.  By default, this is the version of Perl you run
Pod::Man under.  Note that some system an macro sets assume that the
centered footer will be a modification date and will prepend something like
"Last modified: "; if this is the case, you may want to set C<release> to
the last modified date and C<date> to the version number.

=item section

Set the section for the C<.TH> macro.  The standard section numbering
convention is to use 1 for user commands, 2 for system calls, 3 for
functions, 4 for devices, 5 for file formats, 6 for games, 7 for
miscellaneous information, and 8 for administrator commands.  There is a lot
of variation here, however; some systems (like Solaris) use 4 for file
formats, 5 for miscellaneous information, and 7 for devices.  Still others
use 1m instead of 8, or some mix of both.  About the only section numbers
that are reliably consistent are 1, 2, and 3.

By default, section 1 will be used unless the file ends in .pm in which case
section 3 will be selected.

=item utf8

By default, Pod::Man produces the most conservative possible *roff output
to try to ensure that it will work with as many different *roff
implementations as possible.  Many *roff implementations cannot handle
non-ASCII characters, so this means all non-ASCII characters are converted
either to a *roff escape sequence that tries to create a properly accented
character (at least for troff output) or to C<X>.

If this option is set, Pod::Man will instead output UTF-8.  If your *roff
implementation can handle it, this is the best output format to use and
avoids corruption of documents containing non-ASCII characters.  However,
be warned that *roff source with literal UTF-8 characters is not supported
by many implementations and may even result in segfaults and other bad
behavior.

=back

The standard Pod::Simple method parse_file() takes one argument naming the
POD file to read from.  By default, the output is sent to STDOUT, but this
can be changed with the output_fd() method.

The standard Pod::Simple method parse_from_file() takes up to two
arguments, the first being the input file to read POD from and the second
being the file to write the formatted output to.

You can also call parse_lines() to parse an array of lines or
parse_string_document() to parse a document already in memory.  To put the
output into a string instead of a file handle, call the output_string()
method.  See L<Pod::Simple> for the specific details.

=head1 DIAGNOSTICS

=over 4

=item roff font should be 1 or 2 chars, not "%s"

(F) You specified a *roff font (using C<fixed>, C<fixedbold>, etc.) that
wasn't either one or two characters.  Pod::Man doesn't support *roff fonts
longer than two characters, although some *roff extensions do (the canonical
versions of B<nroff> and B<troff> don't either).

=item Invalid quote specification "%s"

(F) The quote specification given (the quotes option to the constructor) was
invalid.  A quote specification must be one, two, or four characters long.

=back

=head1 BUGS

There is currently no way to turn off the guesswork that tries to format
unmarked text appropriately, and sometimes it isn't wanted (particularly
when using POD to document something other than Perl).  Most of the work
towards fixing this has now been done, however, and all that's still needed
is a user interface.

The NAME section should be recognized specially and index entries emitted
for everything in that section.  This would have to be deferred until the
next section, since extraneous things in NAME tends to confuse various man
page processors.  Currently, no index entries are emitted for anything in
NAME.

Pod::Man doesn't handle font names longer than two characters.  Neither do
most B<troff> implementations, but GNU troff does as an extension.  It would
be nice to support as an option for those who want to use it.

The preamble added to each output file is rather verbose, and most of it
is only necessary in the presence of non-ASCII characters.  It would
ideally be nice if all of those definitions were only output if needed,
perhaps on the fly as the characters are used.

Pod::Man is excessively slow.

=head1 CAVEATS

The handling of hyphens and em dashes is somewhat fragile, and one may get
the wrong one under some circumstances.  This should only matter for
B<troff> output.

When and whether to use small caps is somewhat tricky, and Pod::Man doesn't
necessarily get it right.

Converting neutral double quotes to properly matched double quotes doesn't
work unless there are no formatting codes between the quote marks.  This
only matters for troff output.

B<pod2man> by Tom Christiansen <tchrist@mox.perl.com>.  The modifications to
work with Pod::Simple instead of Pod::Parser were originally contributed by
Sean Burke (but I've since hacked them beyond recognition and all bugs are
mine).
