=head1 SYNOPSIS
-pod2text [B<-aclost>] [B<-i> I<indent>] [B<-q> I<quotes>] [B<-w> I<width>]
-[I<input> [I<output>]]
+pod2text [B<-aclost>] [B<--code>] [B<-i> I<indent>] S<[B<-q> I<quotes>]>
+S<[B<-w> I<width>]> [I<input> [I<output> ...]]
pod2text B<-h>
I<input> is the file to read for POD source (the POD can be embedded in
code). If I<input> isn't given, it defaults to STDIN. I<output>, if given,
is the file to which to write the formatted output. If I<output> isn't
-given, the formatted output is written to STDOUT.
+given, the formatted output is written to STDOUT. Several POD files can be
+processed in the same B<pod2text> invocation (saving module load and compile
+times) by providing multiple pairs of I<input> and I<output> files on the
+command line.
=head1 OPTIONS
Use an alternate output format that, among other things, uses a different
heading style and marks C<=item> entries with a colon in the left margin.
+=item B<--code>
+
+Include any non-POD text from the input file in the output as well. Useful
+for viewing code documented with POD blocks with the POD rendered and the
+code left intact.
+
=item B<-c>, B<--color>
Format the output with ANSI color escape sequences. Using this option
because this is the expected formatting for manual pages; if you're
formatting arbitrary text documents, using this option is recommended.
+=item B<-m> I<width>, B<--left-margin>=I<width>, B<--margin>=I<width>
+
+The width of the left margin in spaces. Defaults to 0. This is the margin
+for all text, including headings, not the amount by which regular text is
+indented; for the latter, see B<-i> option.
+
=item B<-o>, B<--overstrike>
Format the output with overstruck printing. Bold text is rendered as
