💖 POD2XHTML 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to POD2XHTML(1p) — that's the Perl doc section, User Contributed Perl Documentation, and this whole page is literally just about one lil program that's here to glow you up. sit down, hydrate, let's go 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

pod2xhtml — the way that this converts .pod files to .xhtml files. that's it, that's the whole job, and it eats every single time 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

pod2xhtml [--help] [--infile INFILE] [--outfile OUTFILE] [OPTIONS]

look at her. iconic. one line, zero drama 🌸

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically it converts files from pod format (peep perlpod for the lore) over to XHTML format. glow up complete, no cap ✨

👑 OPTIONS 👑

pod2xhtml takes the following arguments, and bestie there are only six of them so you have literally no excuse:

  • --help — display help 💖 ask and you shall receive
  • --infile FILENAME — the input filename. if you don't give one, STDIN gets used instead 🙈
  • --outfile FILENAME — the output filename. if you don't give one, STDOUT gets used instead ✨
  • --css URL — a Stylesheet URL. serve the look, we love a queen who accessorises 🎀
  • --index/--noindex — generate an index, or don't. the default is to create an index — so if you don't say anything, you're getting one, periodt 👑
  • --toplink LINK TEXT — set the text for the "back to top" links. the default is 'Top' 💅

💀 BUGS 💀

See Pod::Xhtml for a list of known bugs in the translator. not me pointing you at the other manpage… it's giving "ask my friend, she knows" 😭 but fr fr, that's where the bug list lives.
