ODF2POD(1)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay bestie, welcome to the ODF2POD(1) page — yes, from User Contributed Perl Documentation ✨. This one is all about odf2pod: POD generation from an OpenDocument file 💖.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Usage : odf2pod <filename>

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So this demo script exports the content of a given OpenDocument file to POD on the standard output. That's the whole vibe. In its present form it's quite limited and not flexible, on purpose, so it stays easily readable. Treat it as an example of text extraction using OpenOffice::OODoc — not as the "definitive" odf2pod filter, because complex document structures are not properly rendered 😭.

Before extraction, some transformations are done in the document to make it more convenient for a POD presentation. Some pieces of metadata — title, subject, description — if defined, are reported in the beginning of the POD. Footnotes get removed from the content and reported in a special section at the end ✨.

This script needs Text::Wrapper (which is not necessarily required by the OpenOffice::OODoc installation). If you want to implement more sophisicated presentation rules, you could use Text::Format instead 🫶.

lowkey important: it's a demo, so don't expect flexible handling of complex structures — the manpage says they're not properly rendered 💀.
