PPI2HTML(1)

💅 PPI2HTML 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the ppi2html manual page, straight out of the Debian GNU/Linux manual collection (section 1, we love a classic). it's a tiny one, but it eats, and you're gonna understand every single crumb of it. no cap. 🍓

✨ NAME ✨

ppi2html — generate syntax-highlighted HTML for Perl using PPI 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the whole vibe in one line, literally:

ppi2html input-file [output-file]

see how output-file is sitting in square brackets? that's the "optional, bestie, only if you want it" bracket. iconic behavior. 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

the whole job, no notes: generate syntax-highlighted HTML for Perl using PPI. that's it. that's the assignment. and it ate. 🔥

so here's what the two arguments are doing:

• input-file — this is the file it reads the perl code from. your actual source. the main character. 📖
• output-file — this is where the generated HTML goes. and if you don't hand it one? it just appends .html onto the input-file name and calls it a day. lowkey efficient, honestly. ✨

ngl, the [output-file] thing is doing a LOT of work in the synopsis, so don't skip it — skip it and you get .html whether you asked for it or not. 💀

👑 AUTHOR 👑

this manpage was written by Florian Ragwitz <rafl@debian.org> for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution — but it may be used by others under the same terms as perl. so yeah, go off, it's shareable. 🫶

aaaand that's the whole page, bestie, you're officially fluent. 💜
